Second Vignette From My Parents' Visit

Posted 2 April 2009 in by Catriona

My mother has always been quite politically engaged (especially on issues such as unions), but less savvy on new technology. These two traits met spectacularly in a conversation last night that made Nick laugh and laugh:

I’m secretly hoping my mother might have started a new meme.

She was rather bewildered when Nick started roaring, but I think she’s quite pleased with her own unintentional cleverness, now.
