Wife and I ate recently at a chain restaurant and almost every diner under 30 years old was texting. Whole families with mom and dad talking and all the kids texting. We don’t see this at our favorite Mexican restaurant—Hispanic families all chatting and enjoying their time out. Conclusion: pico de gallo makes you a better human being. (NB: not Pico della Mirandola—no evidence for that.)
I have seen young people texting at funeral home wakes, even playing games on their phones. I say nothing, it’s not my concern..It’s a different world than the one I grew up in. When I attended wakes and funerals then, I was terribly uncomfortable and squirmed around. My mother said, “Sit still! Your uncle is dead for Eternity. You can put up with a little discomfort for a few hours!”
