Kids Say the Darndest Things in 2008 an LTB

Those are my angelic little boys--years ago. As in life, things have changed. Let me explain. As I use my Internet computer, my oldest often sends me IM's(I'm guessing my youngest lives by the cliche, out of sight, out of mind. He's such a pip). The term IM should be familiar. You all know that is an instant message. They pop up and scare me because a bell rings and I'm tempted to turn around and yell, "Come in!" Okay, often times I do.

The oldest is usually in class in college and multitasks as the youth of today often do. Sometimes I give him a cyber holler to pay attention to class, other times I just write: leave me alone I'm writing, but today he got my attention.

Here's how his IM went. I've cut and pasted it for you kids so you get the full blown effect. He is DeadSexy277(in his opinion) I am Authormommy (because he set up my account), and I'm sure he wanted to embarrass me in front of the world. Oh, well, I have a tough skin. Get out your hankies. Here goes:

DeadSexy277 (11:03:07 AM): thank you for loving me
DeadSexy277 (11:03:14 AM): you're a good mommy
authormommy (11:03:23 AM): You been drinking?

That is the actual IM and my witty, as usual, response. I got all teary eyed though and didn't want him to know! He'd razz me for it unmercifully. However, all I can say is: What a way to start my day!

THEN, he continues to tell me that he is kidding. KIDDING! Because late last night he IM'd with "if you really love me, please put $25 more in my ATM account. I'd forgotten. Grrr. Yes, I did put the money in because, unfortunately, the giant needs to eat. That was the gist of his email.

I told him he at least could have let me revel in his words a few days, or hours or at least seven minutes!

Kids in 2008 do say the darnedest things, and, believe me, they are nothing like the ones who used to entertain us on the old Art Linkletter Show! As my grandmother has told me. Really.

Lor--who is consoling herself with the notion that at least her son didn't lie--even though she wished he had for a few brief moments!
