I love how she says that she read the majority of an article online. Isn't it sad that our attention spans are shortening so quickly? Maybe I'll join a book club in an effort to combat that.
Related: I saw online today that some public schools will be permanently replacing cursive writing with keyboard proficiency. As someone who loves a beautifully HANDwritten word, this makes me very sad! When I have children you better believe I'll have them practice penmanship. They may not love it, but they'll at least be able to whip out a lovely handwritten note if they ever wanted to (and I hope they do).
I'm all about the awesome things that the internet and technology can provide us -- I think it's pretty exciting, actually. But can't things like social skills and penmanship still exist in that world? I sure hope so.
I suddenly feel like I'm 95 years old, chewing out the neighbor kids for cutting across my lawn. Whoopsy.

That was a great line: "majority of an article." The interwebs is rotting all of our brains.
hahahaha. I'm totally guilty of sometimes only reading the majority of an article...they write it in the inverted pyramid format for a reason...so you can skip the very bottom if you want. ;) I'm shocked about the penmanship! what in the world?? Love YOU!
