Yes she does, believe it or not, she can text with the phone in one hand and do something else with the other. I don't even know how to text.
Give me an old big black phone with a curly cord holding the receiver to the base and a dial to turn. Oh, I should add, I can't read the texts, they are all in in abbreviations and codes, so a long message is a short text. I am just waiting to see what kind of ailments will afflict the youngster of today as they get older: arthritus of the thumb, carpel tunnell in the fingers, who knows what else. Look at all the problems computers have caused.
