I got this from an e-mail. It’d be great to know who made this cartoon so I could give credit to him/her. So witty and yes, so possible!
Kids are so hi-tech these days. I remember asking my 11-year-old cousin if she has ever seen a typewriter. She gave me a blank look. So I told her, “It’s this machine where you feed it paper, and then you type onto a set of keys and the letters come out on the paper immediately.” Her face lit up and she gave me a cute smile, “Ah! I thought a typewriter was a person! I was going to ask you if she wore a uniform or civilian clothes.”
Hahaha! Nye!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

you were over at appassionata, thank you for visiting
incidentally i was surfing and surfing yesterday and chanced upon your old entries at ‘binibini’,
particularly the ‘per chance’, which is a beautiful happy kind of sad story and the kind that i love…
and yes, i should also ask my 10-year old if she knew what a typewriter looked like, ha ha

I still have my grandfather’s typewriter where I learned as well practiced to type.

June 1, 2006 at 11:20 pm (18 years ago)something similar happened to me today. i was describing to my students a black and white tv with a rotating dial for flicking thru channels. they all couldn’t believe it! kelan ba na phase out ang black and white tv?

June 2, 2006 at 7:51 am (18 years ago)nyahaha! you know, naku, i am guilty of this… whenever members of my family would call to ask me how i and my family are doing, i would sometimes tell them “basahin niyo na lang blog ko”. 😀 someday, i know i will have my comeuppance when my daughter does this to me, too! *scary*

June 2, 2006 at 10:57 am (18 years ago)so funny but so true! pero nakaka-guilty din. sometimes my friends email me asking me how i am, and then saying “or should i/we just read your blog?” nyah! thanks, toni – both for the good laugh and the much-needed reminder.

June 2, 2006 at 11:04 am (18 years ago)So funny! And it is true. My step-dad sent me a Starbucks card for Christmas saying he read on my blog how much I loved it. Guess I need to start hinting more for my anniversary coming up! My husband won’t admit it, but he reads it also.

June 2, 2006 at 12:17 pm (18 years ago)That’s a good one! My nine year old has a blog, but he isn’t allowed on the computer. He hand writes all the entries and I type them up for him. Sometimes I will be talking to family or friends and they will interrupt and tell me they already read it on my blog. Doh!
Here from Michele’s!

June 2, 2006 at 2:45 pm (18 years ago)Hahaha – oo nga, miss ko ang lumang typewriter. Ang anak ko, may kablog din – I used to update it for her, pero ngayon siya na ang gumagawa. Ok yon kasi matutuwa siya pagtanda niya – mababasa at makikita niya ang kalokohan niya nung maliit siya.

Fortunately Patrick is not into blogging yet. god knows how long it’ll take though. But he is into playing tennis game sa playstation 2. Does that count?
