Pickles by Brian Crane for June 13, 2019

And now the screen is all cracked, which is WAY worse!

That could be rather shocking!

The first time I accidentally did that it scared me to death!

I don’t do selfies. I hate having my picture taken.

I practice my FaceTime pose such that it worries the caller.

“ScowlTime” a favorite.

Always a shock.

I did that more than once!

That is one of the many disadvantages of cell phones.

Somebody help me with the math. How old is that baby in the sun that used to be on Teletubbies?

So she isn’t going to pick up the phone, get the settings right and take the picture of the sunset?

Opal don’t you look in a mirror every day while doing AM care ?

DON’T touch that one Earl, not one word. It’s a Kobayashi Maru!!

\\//_

Reality…it is scary at times when you can’t face it head on…

mirrors/selfies – the gift that keeps on shocking you for years to come

She’ll blame Earl for that, too.

I don’t think she’s qualified to use a phone.

Shocking, isn’t it?

I hear you Opal. I’m liking the mirror less and less as the days go by.

But an old, wrinkled face IS a beautiful sunset….

I know mirrors emphasize all the bad.

Not quite as pretty.

I remember looking into a mirror somewhere around sixth grade and thinking, “Yuck.”

She’s never seen her face before?

The reason I don’t take selfies – the whole reason.

I earned every wrinkle I have and am proud of them. Life’s Record of all you have seen,experienced,etc. Life goes on,I Hope.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall – take a long walk off a short pier. Thank you.

In a way, that’s a sunset too. :-(

Ask your grandkids how to photo-shop.

She thought she had been Mooned.!

My face is the reason I don’t turn the camera on my computer.

I remember the first time I saw myself unexpectedly (walking toward a mirrored wall in a restaurant). I thought “Who is that old balding guy walking toward me?” Aack indeed!

It’s what I see every morning. But, I guess it’s better than the alternative.
