Nokia was cool when phones were fun.

My mom has some weird combination of disorders, hard to determine since she becomes aggressive when advised to visit a psychiatrist. I suppose it's just NPD though. Point is - she makes technical things up and acts insulted when I explain it's nonsense, and doesn't learn. Thus she's so bad with tech that I wouldn't give her an Android phone simply because she won't be able to use it.

So - she still asks from time to time if she can use her old Nokia.

From time to time - because that small unimportant thing about cell standards being phased out, that I blabber, she doesn't even try to catch.
