Wayyy Creepy

Dara shocked our niece Sarah when she told her she was on Facebook. The look on her face seemed to translate as: I hope you can't find me on there!!! I enjoyed this most-Emailed NYTimes article about a Mom who joined Facebook and her interaction with her 16-year-old daughter when she found out she had set up a profile:
Things were going really well, when suddenly something disturbing happened. An instant-message window appeared onscreen to deliver a verdict.

“wayyy creepy,” it said. “why did you make one!”

Ah, there she was.

“What are you talking about?” I typed innocently.

“im only telling you for your own good,” my daughter typed.

“Be my friend,” I typed.

“You won’t get away with this,” she typed. “everyone in the whole world thinks its super creepy when adults have facebooks.”
At least Kyla has friended Dara.
