My Mom's Thoughts on Social Networking

Mom: So, I signed up for facebook today.

Me: Oh yeah? I'll friend you. *types in her name and scans list* I don't see you on here.

Mom: *smiling smugly* That's because I signed up as (insert really obscure name).

Me: Okaaaaay. But if you're signed up as (really obscure name) how is anyone going to find you?

Mom: That's the point. I don't want anyone to find me.

Me: All right. So, if you don't want anyone to find you then how are people going to friend you?

Mom: I don't want people to friend me.

Me: Then why are you on facebook?

Mom: Because...*...*walks away*

  4. that's too funny! My mom thought the internet was just one big place everyone could go to when they turn the computer on. So at least she's in the right direction!
