Have you ever gone out for dinner on a date and you've barely had time to sit down when your cell phone starts vibrating in your pocket? Your automatic response is to whip it out of your pocket and look at your text message. Allright... you've looked to see who it was and we all know it's not really all that important. But you can't leave it unanswered or your friend won't know that you now know that he just had a Coke and a pop tart for dinner, so you have to text him back. Just a quick one, right? What's the harm? You have to let him know that you're out to dinner at a restaurant with a date. Maybe he'll get the message and leave you alone, but we all know that now he's going to want to know who she is, what she looks like, and if you think you're going to get lucky. So, back and forth you go... just quickies. It's not like you're in the middle of a deep conversation with your date or anything.
Well, duh! The reason you're not in the middle of a deep conversation is that her mind is occupied with trying to figure out how she's going to get away from you. She's wishing that she was anywhere but on a date with you. She's wishing that she was sitting there with her dog because she knows that her dog sure as hell can't text. She's actually chuckling over the thought of her dog trying to text. No, she's not chuckling at your lame explanations about what your friend is doing. The more she thinks about what great company her dog is, the less she wants to be sitting there with you. There are even restaurants that let you bring your dog. Wouldn't that be nice? By now, she can't even stand sitting there any longer. She just remembered that she left the iron on and she has to run home before the house burns down. Darn... too bad the dog doesn't text or she could text him the message to turn it off. No opposable thumbs can definitely be a good thing.
