Aint Technology Great?

My dad tries to embrace new technology; however it doesn’t return the love. He recently bought a new phone. He was all excited because it would voice dial. He feels if it has a feature he should use it. He was at the house helping me with a project. As he was leaving he said he was going to call mom (He calls Mom, Mom) to see if she wanted him to pick up dinner on the way home.

There he was, standing at the end of my driveway hollaring into the phone 10 inches from his face.
This is about how it went
He takes the phone out and says “make a call”.
Phone Beeps
Call Mom
Did you say Paul?
No
Do you want to make a call?
Yes
Who do you want to call?
Call Mom
Can you repeat the name?
Mom

He never got flustered, like this was normal, proud as could be, just a smiling like aint technology great?
Yes dad, it is, Great for a good laugh.
