My dad got a new phone




My younger brother just sent me a message now telling me that my father just got a new phone. Knowing the kind of person my father is, I could already predict the kind of phone it was, but I guess my predictions for my Dad has began to evolve without him😩.
       While we were growing up, we had friends that could boldly say;
 "this was my dad's phone, he got a new one and gave me this"
That was something non of us could ever brag about because, besides the fact that phones usually got tired of my father before he got tired of the phones, he was always 20 centuries behind modern technology when it came to picking phones (or anything at all), but this one?.....
       As soon as my brother sent me a picture of the phone he got, I knew that was it, we should start thinking of a hut to build beside our house because things are becoming clearer now. I could imagine him going to phone store and asking the seller;
  "nna do you have any stone that can make calls, I mean just give me one of those military phones that don't break"
I usually see those types of phones being used by some men in cabs and then I'd be thinking; " who are these  archaic ones now that have refused to let go of their walkie talkie 🙄". Little did I know that my own father might have been in one of those cabs, admiring those men 😭. It's not so shocking to us coming from someone that still insist that there should be a kerosene lamp in the house, no matter how many electric lamps my mother buys. There was a time some of my younger brother's friends invited some of her other friends to come and stare at the lamp they normally see in movies. My house is now a museum 😭😭.
       I'm still trying to accept him and his phone, but I really don't know what I'd do if that phone rings beside me anytime we go out together 😞.
