Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 13, 2016

How old are you, Aunty?…

My inner 12-year-old would be saying, “What’s email?”

Nope. We actually talked, wrote letters and passed notes.

When I was 12 we didn’t have home computers, much less email! In fact, we only had one phone in the house and it was a four house party line.

Not me! There wasn’t any internet when I was 12. Or 13, or 14, or 15, or 16, etc.

Obviously there is a slight glitch in someone’s timing andmemory. Too much wine perhaps?

Wow, we’re all older than s—-. My kids were born before email was invented (1972).

I was 12 yrs. old in 1971, so I don’t have that worry of an embarrassing email address hanging over my head…no Internet (at least for public consumption) and computers were still using binary codes and cards.

They didn’t have e-mail when I was 12 (which was before Silversummer here).

I was 12 in 1955. We didn’t ALL have that embarrassing email address. Many people my current age still don’t have email.

Aunty must be my daughter’s age.

No, we all don’t. Many of us were adults with children when email became available for the masses.
