Serious question here.

Can you text with both hands?

I can't, and when I visited my niece this summer who will be a sophomore in college made fun of me and when I was texting her Mom she would take the phone and say 'let me do it; you'll take forever' and she was right.

I can't do I for the life of me and I have a great phone which I found out yesterday I'm eligible for an upgrade.

I can type with 2 hands, just can't text.

I was joking about the serious question.

It's all muscle memory. We'll never be as fast as our kids, though.

I probably use 10% of my phone.

I always ask my son to fix shit on it, and he does.
