Hee! Amy and Connie are both making me smile. I can see both scenes so clearly.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love the theme of children and the elderly not understanding how the boxes work

I don't know if my mother ever got a computer. She thought ATMs were tools of the devil. I don't think Hubby's mother ever did quite trust that we weren't just telling her tall tales about computer storage and the like. I do enjoy laughing at women who try to say, "Oh, I'm 45, I don't understand computers." "Ma'am, I'm 47, and I do tech support." ". . . . oh."

What advice would you have for me about getting new writing assignments? All I've proven I can write is disability and television.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Honor Thy Father
There had been no surprises when she packed up the first floor. Nothing had changed since her mother died ten years before. She could tell because nothing had changed since she’d walked out thirty years ago, either. Not even the bottles of vodka hidden everywhere.
She decided to repack the boxes in the attic. The Goodwill probably wouldn’t find anything surprising, but better safe than sorry.
At the bottom of one box she found a green jewelry box. Inside, a star-shaped medallion hung from a blue ribbon sprinkled with white stars. She was surprised to find tears in her eyes.

First of all, the drabbles do rock.
Secondly - writing tip of the day: read your entire work out loud from beginning to end - yes even if it is a novel or an 85,000 word work of non-fiction. You will catch all sorts of problems no amount of silent reading can spot. This is especially important for people who tend to make lots small errors (for instance someone nicknamed Typo Boy), but anyone will benefit, unless your writing is completely error free.
Do you folks want me to go on sharing this type of thing? Or are they stuff everybody but me already knows?
