Here’s the riddle by Erin:
Two new iPhones in clear cases were sitting on the coffee table.
Two sweet people were sitting on the sofa next to the phones being sweet.
The phones had identical Lock Screens and both required six digit passcodes to enter.
How, oh how.… why oh why did Apple lock these sweeties out of their iPhones??
ANOTHER VERSION. 😳
Two sweet people with dementia
Whose minds were quite in absentia
Had trouble copin’
When the dang things won’t open
Didn’t realize they’d mixed em
But Erin she came, and she fixed em.

Authors’ Note:
Here's a true story, tale of woe for you. A few nights ago Tom and I were watching TV on the couch and I picked up my phone and it would not open with face recognition, passcode, or asking Siri to open it. Tom checked his phone and it was doing exactly the same thing. The next morning we called Erin and she came over and we called spectrum who recommended we call the Apple customer service or take it into an Apple Store. The nearest one is in Greenville, South Carolina. Anyway, we worked with the lady from Apple on the phone for at least an hour and a half. In the meantime, Tom's phone started working again and we had to factory reset my phone just like when it was brand new.
After all that Erin noticed that we had the same screensaver on our phones (the weather), we both had six digit passcode numbers, we both had identical cases on our phone. The only thing different is the color of the back of the phone. She wondered if we had each other's phones and of course it wouldn't recognize us by face or passcode. at first I couldn't imagine that was possible because I always keep my phone next to me on the couch while we're watching TV at night. Last night I looked down and Tom's phone was in that very spot and I realized that Erin was right. We had each other's phones!😳😳😂😂😂
I texted her last night and told her that I finally agreed that that was exactly what had happened. I have forwarded a cute little riddle she sent to our whole family followed by my response. What a story to tell!
