We've all been here

UltraConnected

Hi Mom! Glad you called
We haven’t talked in two weeks,
Hang on, someone’s on the other line.
Hi Mom, that was a guy from work,
Wants me to email him some stuff.
I’ll go downstairs and do that.
I can still talk, How’s Dad?
Hang on, just got an IM
(Yes I’m online, I’m fine-you?)
Sure we’ll come up for..
Hang on, my pager just went off.
I have to get this
Hi Mom, back!
Oh, Blockbuster wants to know about the overdue
Hang on, I’ll send them an answer.
Yeah Mom we’re fine
The kids just went to
Damn, there’s the fax, let me grab that
Anyway Mom, as I was saying
Mom? Mom?
Jeeze, why doesn’t anybody talk to me these days!

Cute. Also all too true for some people. I think Cat Stevens wrote soemthing similar a few years back that is still being played on oldies stations.
