My mom is so much cooler than I am

I just sent a text message to my mom on her brand new iPhone. Yes, that is right. My mom has an iPhone. She picked it up last night and I had the honor of being the first person she called from it. She thought about calling my brother but was afraid it would be rubbing it in too much with him (as if I'm not jealous). She really was just testing to see if the new phone dropped calls in an area that is notorious for no service. Success! There was a little static, but no dropped call.
She can now talk, surf the internet, send text messages, send e-mails, use her GPS to figure out which cow pasture she is driving by and probably tele-transport herself places all while driving around in the middle of no where. And, if you know my mom's driving, thank the stars that she is in the middle of no where because this is a recipe for trouble.
Someone asked me if my mom was going to be able to figure out how to use all the new bells and whistles on the iPhone and the general answer is 'eventually, maybe, we're not really sure'. When she picked up the phone last night, she asked the guy at the store if there was a tutorial or something that he could give and he said that there is actually a really good video online that she can watch when she gets home. On her way home she remembered that the speakers on their computer don't work. And, the fact that she somehow managed to call me really only happened by accident.
This is going to be good for lots of laughs!! (Secretly, I'm hoping she gets frustrated and decides she doesn't want the fancy phone and she gives it to me. But, don't tell anyone.)
