Mom's Many Firsts
We'll never have experiences like mom's who lived at a time of technological transitions. She shared with us these few short stories which were quite funny.
Her first movie. She relayed to us that her first movie was at a movie house with wooden chairs. At the end of the movie, her companions were all going out except her. They asked her why and she said that she was still waiting for the stars to come out from behind the screen :)
Her first ice cream. She said that her first taste of ice cream was from a mamang sorbetero. I think its either vanilla or cheese. She said that our current ice creams can't compare in the taste of this "dirty ice cream".
Her first phone conversation. She told us that she taught her companion at the house had gone crazy because she was talking to herself. Her companion introduced her to the telephone. It was funny that they had "phone pals" at that time. Her phone pal then was a guy from an architectural firm. Believe it or not :)
