I've always been a Daddy's girl. For my whole life, he's been my biggest fan. We've had our tiffs over the years, but neither of us can stay mad at each other.
He's reeeeal country. He's always had a simple life. Work, pay bills, fish, hang with family, go to church. He's not big on technology. He's very intelligent; he just doesn't need a lot of gadgets in his life to prove it.
A few months ago, he purchased a new Tahoe, complete with a 6 disk cd changer. After BL and I pointed out that feature, his response was, "Well, I only have 1 cd. Guess I better go buy 5 more." He has no idea how the internet works and is hesitant to use his debit card. He's old school. And I love him for it.
Two weeks ago, he bought a Kindle Fire. Why? So he could have a reader to use when he teaches his Sunday school class and so he could have his devotionals at his fingertips. This is a man who JUST upgraded to a flip phone not too long ago. Yes, upgraded. As in, he had one of those mini brick cell phones for years. His new flip phone takes pictures, which he uses to send me pics of babies at church. As hints, you know. To get busy making him some grandkids.
Anyway. The Kindle. After numerous phone calls, I've finally explained to him how the internet works, how wireless connections work, and how to access Amazon. I've had migraines after every phone call. I love him, so I take the time to painfully explain every little thing. It's exhausting.
