Maybe this was commentary on how technology has complicated our lives? Does the Mr. Mom reference fit into that somehow? At least they didn't have to wait to send in the roll of film to get the pictures developed.

Yes, partly how tech has complicated our lives, and even though we all have the same tech more or less, it's not as quick as we'd like it to be.

This one has me a bit perplexed. Btw I circulate all your stories.

Thank you. Why perplexed?

As another reader point out above, everyone had the technology to take the picture but for one reason or another, a simple task couldn't be completed.

Then the Silver Alert came in using the same tech (phone) and it had a different use entirely.

I don’t know why. I just couldn’t read between the lines for some reason. I became frustrated with the people in the story. I thought about the story throughout my day. I even shared it with my colleges in the ER they thought it was funny. They made fun of me for the rest of the shift. Lol 😂
