*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*


There was a part of me that was worried for old Crenshaw, sitting on the park bench yelling abuse at the youngsters. I had the feeling that they wouldn't take kindly to it. Fortunately they turned out to be nice kids although I'm not sure if anyone would ever be that nice to pick up the dentures. *Laugh* It was the old man who started the conversation all aggressive while the kids hadn't really done anything to annoy him. It seemed their mere presence was enough. It wasn't clear just why he was so cantankerous to begin with but perhaps it was just his nature. The kids, however, were nothing but friendly and helpful which made him change their mind about them and about the new-fangled technology they were using.

I do sometimes wonder how much some people miss out because they don't get to know all those technological advances that would be available to them with a bit of effort and curiosity. Here, it enabled the main character to get in touch with an old friend he hadn't seen or heard from for many years, but there is also the opportunity to stay in touch with people who are much closer. It seemed that Crenshaw took to it quite quickly; at least he wasn't scared of trying or asking for help, which is always an advantage.

What at first looked like a story about the generation gap quickly turned into a feel-good tale that showed how the gap could be bridged with a bit of determination on both sides. The kids took to it even quicker than the old man and it seemed that it really was no bother to them, and Crenshaw soon found the advantages of meeting his new friends. By the end, it was clear that he had forgotten all about being irritable. The tale was well written and left me feeling glad that I had come to read it. *Smile*
