Put your phone down
posted August 13th, 2017 at 3:17 PM
I was walking down the street last week and saw a guy, sitting with people who looked to be his parents, staring at his phone and completely ignoring them. They looked at him and his phone hopelessly and waited for some interaction. I'm sure I'm guilty of this and I found it heartbreaking to see. Your parents aren't going to be around forever - put down your phone :-)

...you're right? Or maybe he was looking up directions and they were waiting for him to figure out how to get to their next destination? Or perhaps he was looking for a restaurant to take them? Or maybe they were waiting for news about a sick family member? It's easy to make up stories about strangers we pass. It's fun, actually. But remember it's just something you made up in your head. If it reminded you to spend time with your parents, that's fantastic.

I saw the same thing....young alternative looking girl having lunch with her parents I guessed... on her phone the WHOLE TIME she didn't look up once to talk to these people!
