A few Christmases ago my MIL was newly dating her fiancee. She sat at the table reading and sending texts and giggling during the entire meal and the rest of the day (and for about the first year they were dating she would do this regardless of the setting, even in restaurants). It was unbecoming behavior for a woman in her 60s (were she my child I would have taken the phone away). It was around that time that she told us that she liked to text while driving and was getting really good at it. It was obvious that she thought we would find this to be funny...we didn't. And we told her that is we EVER caught wind of her doing that with our son in the car that we would never again allow him in her vehicle.
