Tech-Savvy Love: A Selfie Saga
Why did the younger spouse become the official tech support for their partner? Because every time they tried to take a selfie, the older spouse would say, “Okay, show me again how to unlock it. Do I swipe left or right? No, wait. Is it up or down to get to the camera?” After five minutes of instruction, the younger spouse would deadpan, “No, honey, you don’t need to blow a kiss to activate the photo mode!”
When they finally got the camera open, the older spouse would then ask, “How do I zoom in again? I can’t see the cat! Do I pinch it? Or do I need to rub the screen or something?” The younger spouse would sigh and say, “It’s pinch, not rub! You’re trying to give the phone a massage, not take a picture!”
And just when they thought they were ready, the older spouse would ask, “Wait, how do I take the picture? Is it the circle button or the square button?” With a smile, the younger spouse would patiently explain, “It’s the circle, the square is just for your apps. Can we just focus on one thing at a time here?”
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the older spouse snaps the picture and excitedly declares, “Got it! Now, how do I send this to everyone again?” Cue another round of detailed instructions, and the cycle continues!
This joke captures the lighthearted frustrations that often arise in relationships when one partner is visibly less tech-savvy than the other. The repeated questions and the younger spouse’s patient responses highlight the common dynamics of moving from confusion to communication within a relationship. In this case, it’s all in good fun, revealing how love and laughter can bridge even the widest technological gaps.
