iPad babies, look away

A lot of context can get lost in text messages . Even if you think that you can gauge someone's intentions from what they say in the digital sphere, we get so much information from vocal intonation. That's why I tend to limit my texting conversations to jokes and utilitarian information. "What time do we want to meet up?" "Doesn't this meme remind you of Rachel?"

Watching our bills, groceries, car payments, and rent go up every month isn't exactly an encouraging reality, but only a deluded person would think that the luxuries in life (like a full fridge and gas in your car) would come without a price tag–but then again...
