oh man that panel where you ask 'how can everyone afford one of these?' was perfect. it is really weird how we don't question it anymore, we just buy the new phone because WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. i too wish to be a whimsical woman with a flip phone but i don't know if it would actually curb my internet habits and i desperately need maps in my life.

I am excited to see that someone else has taken the Mouse into adult life. I reference “If you Give A Mouse A Cookie” as the thing that leads to another thing and often get blank stares from other people. It seems so apt for many situations.

Especially the panicked look when you can't figure out what time it is without your effing phone

My printer broke this week and I was secretly happy because I thought... omg I get to get a new one, then my boyfriend said “don’t worry I can fix it!” And I low key didn’t want him to... (but he did)

It's a sign to...switch over to an android! Then, Apple doesn't get to tell you what phone to use! I refuse to convert to Apple products.
