Digital Natives
My wife tells me that our children are referred to as “Digital Natives” since they will not remember a time in their lives prior to the internet, iPhones, touch screens, or wifi.
Confirming evidence: Yesterday my 4-year-old daughter went to throw something away in the trash can and found it to be too full. She approached me and said, “Daddy, you need to delete the trash.”
Tea For Two
Little Johnny was left to fix lunch.
When his mother returned with a friend, she noticed that Johnny had already strained the tea.
The two women then sipped their tea happily while having lunch.
“Was it hard finding the tea strainer in the kitchen?” Johnny’s mother asked.
“I couldn’t find it Ma, so I used the fly swatter,” he replied.
His mother nearly fainted, so Johnny hastily added:
“Don’t get excited, Ma, I used the old one!”
Parenting, Worry, Teens
A father said to his teenage daughter, “I want you home by 11:00 tonight.”
“But Daddy,” she protested, “I’m not a little girl anymore.”
“You’re right.” he answered. “Better make it 10:30!”
Necklace
Tourist: “What an interesting necklace. What is it made of?”
Native: “Alligator’s teeth.”
Tourist: “I suppose they mean as much to you as pearls do to us.”
Native: “Oh no, no! Anybody can open an oyster.”
