A gentleman with a French accent approached me Saturday afternoon on Rehoboth Beach’s, ahem, beach and asked me to take a picture of him with his family. I readily agreed and reached out to take his phone.

Tourist, chuckling: “Don’t run away with my phone.”

Me, looking at the iPhone 8 with a cracked screen protector: “No worries. Mine is cooler.”

We all got a laugh at that.
