I think you did very well. You captured the beginning of technology's hands off approach to relationships. Dismal .-= Nessa´s last blog ..Dismal =-.

Ah yes, the cowardly telephone call break up. For that alone Alexander Grahm Bell should be exhumed and beaten.

Actually, I quite enjoyed this take. I sat and stared at that picture for a long time before I came up with my story and I got to it down a very long and convoluted path.

@jabblog uk Texting a breakup would be SO much worse, hey??

@southlakesmom Thanks Chivalry is not quite dead, though CPR might be in order…

@first50 You’re probably right, and if it were one of my daughters… yup, I’d have to chase him down.

@Barbara H. Yuppers, BAD form. No chivalric mindset, and were he here today, he’d be a texting twit? A twittering twit? A… I give up

@juliana Thank you! Yup, a breakup is a breakup – but some people just manage to do it with a certain amount of class. Now, if they could all do it like Jack Nicholson in “Something’s Gotta Give” – WOW!

@Susan at Stony River Ditto Susan. I do miss the letters and good old fashioned face to face! My grandparents did a good share of raising me, and my Granddad had a killer vocabulary with some of the coolest sounding words… he made me love the language with McGuffy Readers *sheesh* Some very old words

‘Lickspittle’, that’s new to me and I laughed out loud!
I really enjoyed this — amazing to think that these days talking on the phone *is* as face-to-face as many of us ever get, and that now we can get even more impersonal than people ever dreamed. I miss real phones and handwriting!

i wonder which is worse… a breakup is a breakup, no matter how it’s done…
great story, though
