Does this Smartphone make my thumbs look fat?


My wonderful man bought me a new phone today. An upgrade to the Samsung 4G.  With a sparkly silver case. He said "This is change". I nodded. I understood.
My hand immediately grasped for the slideout keyboard.
Where was it?
Uh huh, he said.
No more keyboards.

Oh.

I began to type what should have been a text to a good friend saying Sorry for your loss...
My smart phone didn't agree with the sentiment.
It said.. "Sorry for your loss ! :):)--->happy face

Oh dear.

As we proceed into the future, oh dearest Technology wizards and warlocks and whippersnappers, Oh my...

Please remember, the phone may be bigger, better, slimmer, faster, and know to say Cheese for a photo...

But my beautiful big monkey thumbs aren't getting any smaller as the keyboard continues to shrink.
I spoke my true feelings holding the phone to my nose. I told the smart phone I was whining.

Phone: Did you want to purchase wine?

NO!

Phone: I'm sorry, I didnt get that. Did you say you were Fine?

NOOO!!

Phone: I'm sorry, I didn't get that.. Are you still on the line?

CLICK..

Not anymore.

I know. It's revolutionary. Instead of texting, tweeting, digging, redigging, gramming, googling and binging, how about I just call you?
I can call you.
My phone told me so.
