When I was very little
I wanted to 'do it by myself''.
Let me make the biscuits, Mom
I don't need grown-up help!
But Mother would soon lose patience,
She had so much to do
It's quicker for me to do it myself
Than to clean up after you.
When I grew up and married
And supper was up to me
I'd call my grandma on the phone
Please give me your recipe.
Oh, just add a smidge of salt
And a dab and a half of spice..
A splash of milk 'til it looks just right
And bake it til it smells nice.
Now I have senior moments,
My doctor says with a frown.
But I got my very first smart phone
(My antique flip phone drowned).
Please teach me how to use this thing!
I begged my granddaughter today
Oh, Nana, it's intuitive!
And off she went to play

I really like the writing. I too need to get a new cell phone. So many choices and I can't decide what I should buy.
You gave me a smile with your poem today, Karen.
Thanks for the reminder of that wonderful song, As the Deer. I added it to my post.
Same here:). I am always asking my daughter for recipes and help with today's technology😉 Have a wonderful day dear Karen, hugs.
Ha ha...this is so cute! Glad she could help you out! We spent 30 min. trying to change the time in the car last weekend! ha
Hahaha! They say it is intuitive, but I don’t know about that...!
Very cute! And again, your header is gorgeous! The fruits and flowers of the season.
I love it when a real recipe is passed down so future generations can learn to cook and bake for themselves. I understand the busy mom, and the also busy grandchildren who seem to be able to generate in this new world of gadgets. For myself, I need to read the directions even after someone tries to show me.
Loved your poem Karen.
Hello, cute story and memory. I hope you have all your Mom's recipes written down. The smart phones are not too hard to learn. Enjoy your weekend!
So cute and sounds familiar!
Oh, I'm not one for all that technology either, Karen, but it's great that you want to learn. Loved your little poem today. Your grandma reminds me of me, as I seldom use a recipe, just a dash of this and a dash of that. Your mother's biscuits sound wonderful.

Those kids get it at such an early age. Love my smart phone.
really cute poem, I love my smart phone, tablet, laptop and desk top and best of all my kindle e reader...if it runs on wireless I love it
Haha! I love this, Karen. My sons are my source of information when I need to figure out something on the computer.
