Aunt Fritzi: You know, honey... All I really want is for you to have the things I never had when I was your age---
Nancy: YOU'RE GETTING ME A CELL PHONE??
Notice that when Fritzi was telling Nancy she wanted the child to have what she herself didnt’, she was reading something called ‘college plans’…. I’m thinking what Fritzi is hoping to provide Nancy is a college education, not the latest in high tech gadgets….
Nancy is too young to have her own cell phone, but some pink streaks in her hair and a flower tattoo on her shoulder might be okay. (tongue in cheek comment)
Pitty that we can’t provide a better life for our children than we had. We had the better life than our parents, but we can’t provide a better iife for ours if we are middle class. Middle Class is a disappearing status in the US. Soon it will be the Rich and Poor. I could go into many aspects of what is happening, bore everyone on the page, write a paper, but I won’t. You KNOW what is going on, or should know, if you dont know, find out.
No, they don’t ever get tired of being wrong. They revel in it, just as we as a nation never tire of paying top dollar for everything, so our overlords can drain us of every dollar.

You walked into it, Fritzi!… – They should make a new and official-sounding title for a new section of grammar, called: “Qualifiers”….

But Nancy can stay on Fritzi’s healthcare until she’s 26!

In Canada, we have health care from the time we are born to our final day.
