Another Sophia Story

I don't know if you know that you can subscribe to "channels" on YouTube. I never subscribe, of course.

Tonight, when we were driving from our apartment to her house, Sophia nonchalantly asked me what "Subscribe" means on YouTube.

Either she sounded out that word herself or someone read it to her somewhere. I certainly did not read "Subscribe" to her on videos on YouTube. I never even thought to mention them to her.

It was difficult for me to describe but I asked her what she does when she sees the "Subscribe" button.

She says she just clicks on it and moves on. LOL.

I wonder how many YouTube "channels" I'm subscribed to. LOL.
