Facebook story

Let me narrate a story which happened back in Kerala, one grandma went for a Christian retreat, during the retreat the priest advised everyone to sign up in facebook so they will receive daily news feeds. Grandma came back home and asked her husband for facebook. Grandpa replied “I do not know what is facebook, I will pay whatever it is”. Grandma called her daughter; she misunderstood the term facebook with something else. The daughter came with her 10 year old son and the son said “I know what facebook is, let us go buy now”. They went to a local computer store; bought a used computer and ordered broadband connection. 

Next day, grandma signed up in facebook and whole neighborhood received her friend request. Grandma made 150 friends in a day and has friends in almost all continents. Once Grandma became addicted to facebook, she stopped making morning tea for her husband and skipped daily church masses. The poor husband has to go to local tea shop for tea in the morning and started to go local toddy bar at the evening where he reconnected with all his childhood friends. Grandpa said “I would have better life if someone invented facebook 50 years ago but it is not too late”. Lately I heard grandma started to do exercises with a motivation to update her profile picture.
