Children always ask the darnedest questions, and grandparents always have the funniest metaphors. Check out what this grandpa said to his grandson:
A grandson asked his grandpa one question while on the way back from school:
“What is the difference between ‘Wife’ and ‘Girlfriend’?”
Grandpa thought for a minute and simplified the explanation like this:
Listen, Son:
A Wife is like a TV and a Girlfriend is like a Mobile.
At home, you watch TV, but when you go out, you take your Mobile.
Sometimes you enjoy the TV, but most of the time, you play with your Mobile.
TV is (as good as) free for life, but for the Mobile, if you don’t pay, the services will be terminated.
TV is big, bulky, and most of the time old, but the Mobile is cute, slim, curvy, replaceable, and portable.
Operational costs for TV are often acceptable, but for the Mobile, they are often high and demanding.
TV has a remote, but the Mobile doesn’t.
Most importantly, Mobile is a two-way communication (you talk and listen), but with the TV, you MUST only listen (whether you want to or not)!
Last but not least, TVs are superior because they don’t have viruses, but Mobiles often do, and Mobiles can be easily hacked or stolen.
