things of the utmost importance
My name is MacKenzie. I have a complex about capitalization. I have lived in Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; Randolph, NJ; San Jose, CA; Minnetonka, MN; Darien, CT; and now Boston, MA, where I am a third-year English major at Northeastern University. Adventure!

Caroline works at an elementary school; I own an iPhone
  • Caroline:
    If one more kid tells me they have an iPhone...not impressed. Then they inevitably follow up with "what kind of phone do you have?" like they pity me.

  • MacKenzie:
    "You have a black box that can call people as well as do other things? Wow, that is so nice. I can drive a car and talk to people your parents' age!"

  • Caroline:
    "Oh, that's just wonderful. You own a very expensive status symbol. I'm so happy for you!" I want someone else to tell me they have one or will be getting one.

  • MacKenzie:
    Caroline, next time a kid shows you their iPhone look at it like it is literally the most amazing thing you have ever seen and ask over and over "what is this? How does it work?" Refuse any explanation they offer, as if you're an historical figure transported to the present and thoroughly confused by technology.
