You Can't Zoom On Instagram

Parents Technologically Challenged ?

Parents in todays technology is true entertainment. Our generation has grown up with technology and figuring out how it works. As kids we were the starting generating of kids toys that were electronic. Our parents on the other hand have been raised old school...no phone, no computers. Watching them today can be sight to see. Most parents do certain action so you know that they are technically challenged.

5. Using Siri to text.

Parents do this quite often to text. If your mom is anything life mine, she will hit the microphone but and yell "WHERE ARE YOU", as if Siri didn't hear her...

4.Trying to zoom in on Instagram.

You may be showing one of your parents a picture of an old friend or some cool food you found and they try to zoom. Everyone knows you can't zoom on Instagram. Or even worse they like the picture...Should send help.

3. Holding the phone up close and having to readjust it because they can't see.

Most parents do this more times then not. You see them grab the phone with 2 hands and squint at the picture then bring it out in front of them again to readjust the picture... Personal Favorite.

2. When one family member gets a new phone and the parents assume they know as much a the manual.

Parents come in to your room with a question about an email...Okay not a problem. Then it becomes two and three and before you know it they are asking you why Apple is an apple. Just keep it simple for them.

1. "Accidentally" hanging up on you.

The red button is there for a reason...

So If you can agree that your parents do any of the actions of above, just know you aren't alone. Most parents will still keep coming to you to ask questions just be patience and slow with them. We are the masters and they re the grasshoppers.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
