I have a confession to make.
I never understood how people were able to grip their phones with one hand to take a mirror selfie.
My hands are small, so I figured maybe my phone was too big to grip, but then a millennial on the set of a film I am working on, showed me how tonight.
If I had children, I would be up to date on everything. I need some Gen-Zers in my life. Without the younger generations around, it’s easy to stop paying attention to trends. That’s not always a bad thing, but I should have at least learned a long time ago that I only needed to grip the bottom of my phone between my pinky and fourth finger to take a mirror selfie.
Tonight, I worked on a student film for my acting class.
Me and Frannie showing Molly how to use a landline.
This is actually a thing with younger folks, and I totally get it. How many people grow up with landlines anymore?
I still have a push-button corded phone somewhere in my closet (as a prop), I wish I had kept our old rotary phone. Those were slow, but fun.
I’m exhausted. I gotta get ready for bed. Goodnight.
