Breaking Up Is Hard To Do


Until very recently, Annelien was in a loving, committed relationship with her iPhone. Then, all of a sudden, things turned sour. The iPhone (covered in a nice green skin that she bought on eBay) was sitting in her purse with a small bottle of water when she went to the public library at the Civic Center. As we discovered, an iPhone can get two drops of water and then it breaks down, forever. The relationship between Annelien and her iPhone ended in the worst possible way. They are not on speaking terms anymore. And now she also hates her in-laws at the Apple company, because they were so unforgiving and harsh about the two drops. Annelien asked me to be her divorce lawyer and since I am studying for the Bar exam, I felt sufficiently qualified to represent her in this delicate affair. The break-up was painful and yet, Annelien is in a much better place now. Life is worth living without the iPhone. She now has time to go on walks and talk to the neighbors. And no one breaks down when there is a drop of rain or two.

  1. Annelien, please accept my sincere condolences. Although on the other side of the world, I can feel your pain.
