My main pet peeve is Instant messaging! My daughter only talks to her bofriend this way! they could "talk" for hours online but he refuses to call her! Once I made her leave the computer so I could get on, and she apparently told him she had to go... so a minute later this came across the screen "ok, bye babe"

Well, ya know I couldn't resist! I said, "Gee, I'm honored you feel that way about me! Bye babe too... love Heather's mom." Heee heee.

Come on! pick up the phone and have a half hour conversation instead of taking two hours to type that same thing!
