Family of kids are like little droids - zombie state and always connected. So annoying when we visit and THEY pick a movie where we all are to share and enjoy the evening. But what does the family do? Mom, Daddio to all five kids EACH on electronic devices DURING the movie!
I wonder if there was a generation that was scared that kids these days learned to use books?

Omawgash, kids these days have their own books, they aren't even waiting to learn to open scrolls anymore! I walk around outside and see kids in the great outdoors where they could be running or working, and they are just sitting under trees with books! Oh the huge manatee!
