That made me laugh out loud! That's a great piece. I've never lived in a really small town. I once lived in a medium-sized town and to my disappointment I didn't find it to be a friendly place.
Cellphones do introduce a fair number of social traps, you're right!
Having grown up in a small town and now living in one again I can easily relate to your article.
I too have answered questions that turned out to be cell phone calls. It's the sneaky bluetooth that got me last time around. I try to only use mine when I'm driving so I don't do that to someone myself.
Thank you, for your kind comments regarding my writing and also for sharing your experiences of small town living and phantom conversations with cell phone users! I hope you all find a friendly face next time you go to town. xx
Wonderful article Karen! I live in a small town and still do not know my neighbors. I couldn't even tell you their names - how said is that?
ReplyDeleteDearest Karen,
ReplyDeleteOnce more I will state it here: You are a keen observer and therefore an excellent writer!
Love to you,
Mariette

Yes, I can SO relate - and I love the Deep South because it is this way everywhere you go! Great article, Karen - thanks. <3
