...social networking as I knew it, was over.
Now, I was going to be forced to make all of my statuses, posts, links, replies, pictures, etc...PG rated. How DARE she search for my name on the search engine, click on my 'Add Me' link and just expect me to respond yes?
Ok. Obviously, I'm being sarcastic. Of course I added my Mom. She is a great woman. She's always let me be myself, let me cry and complain, be silly and sarcastic, be stubborn, and even be (wait for it....) dramatic.
But, when I saw her pending friend request sitting there in my inbox, I wondered: Was facebook as I knew it about to change forever? Yes, in fact it was. I didn't want my own Mother seeing me post passive-agressive status updates about friends that I was annoyed with. It's immature. I definitely wouldn't want her seeing me post anything with a swear word in it. I respect her too much to ever let her see me post a 'dirty word'. No longer could I post funny links filled with potty-humor jokes. So, I sighed and accepted her friend request. Knowing that with a little click of my mouse, I was being forced into a more mature world of social networking.
Now, a year or so later, I must thank her. Thank you Mom, for forcing me to grow up a little and to use facebook for what it's true intent really is......anonymous stalking. :)
Now I just have to wait for her to join the wonderful world of blogging...........
