Then to Now.

HELLO MAUREEN HERE GA

HELLO THIS IS YOUR MOTHER. SMILE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD SLEEP SMILE OK REASON WHY I WANTED TO CALL YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TODAY IS YOUR FATHER’S BIRTHDAY… SMILE. GA

Remember the TTY days? No, better – remember when there weren’t any “smiley face” days? Instead of that, we used the word, “SMILE” often – especially during our TTY conversations. I found this old comic strip about our “SMILE” days…before the “smiley faces” were born. I remember how annoying it was for me…. Was it for you too?

And no, I never had my mom call me to remind me that it was my dad’s birthday.

    ah! my parents never use smiley faces too, they put “smile” in last of the sentence as your’s. But they also have “smile” as their signature with their name in email/pager.

    I laughed, just cuz its their time and nobody use “smile” anymore.
    Moreover, we just VP nowadays so its not annoying anymore…[smirks]
