Mommy Apps

About 5 years ago I was driving in southern California with my cousin and close friend. We were on the I-5 I believe and our gas tank was empty; to the point that we thought we might be pushing our rental car back to the hotel. We could not find a freeway exit with a gas station nearby to save our lives. Here in Utah you can see gas stations from anywhere as you drive the I-15 so this was bizarre for us! We decided to pull off, drive for a bit and then ask someone if we became that desperate. We became desperate. We pulled into some drive-in fast food restaurant, rolled down the windows and yelled to the seemingly frightening boys at the table. "Hey do you know where the nearest gas station is?" They all turned and looked at us as if we were from another planet or at least another decade and said, "don't you have an app for that?" We still had flip phones at this time and were quite caught off guard. We had no idea what an app even looked like at this point. Needless to say they were of no help and we drove off feeling lost in the technology world. The point of my story?

#1: THERE IS AN APP FOR EVERYTHING!
#2: Flip phones are apparently out of style.
#3: If you have a smart phone and a baby, kids or you're pregnant this is for you!
