teen girl at check-out desk (looking at a book her mother had just put down): facebook, mom? really?
mom: yeah. (seeing her daughter roll her eyes) what? i have a page!
teen girl (lifting the previously named book and reading the title of the next): and blogging?
mom: yes! i have a blog! is that so weird?
teen girl: yes.
me: no, what’s weird is when your mom friends you. i mean, how to do decline her request? (to mom) no offense…
teen girl: i’m on myspace.
mom: but your brother’s on facebook…
