First day of fourth grade. And here’s how sassy and grown up we have become…
We do our customary pictures.
M: Mom these pictures are great for your records and posterity but can you not post them on any social media. Thank you.
Me: Umm okay but just so you know I have a secure account and share only with added friends.
M: That’s okay but you do know nothing is really safe once it’s out there somewhere. Didn’t you tell me the other day that even what I send on email remains somewhere for ever. And anyways it’s not even that - I just don’t want my pictures on your social media.
Me (sheepishly): Yeah sure, whatever. I respect your wishes. Will not post.
M: Also, let me know what you want for your birthday or i can take you out. My budget is very limited though.
Me: Noted. Thank you.
Phew. She is getting too big for her boots and already fits into my shoes. And no, I did not seek permission from her to post this conversation.
Happy first day of school to us!
