Technology Bonds

I gave our oldest daughter my old blackberry and needless to say there was great delight.

Unfortunately that was short lived as she attempted to move the phone over to her phone plans and have my old security profile wiped off. She lost everything (messages, contact list, etc.) and the phone went into total failure.

OH MY! She was in total overload distress. No one could reach her. She couldn't call anyone. No texting for a whole day. She arrived tonight for dinner - totally stressed out and ready to blast someone - anyone - for the phone problems she was having.

The good news - her dad is really tech savvy. He figured out what was wrong and fixed the phone. They spent hours texting, SMSing, pinging, BBing (whatever this language is) each other and selecting ring tones for their various means of connecting. The bonding was amazing.

Dad is a hero. Daughter is happy. I am happy too.
