(Like 99% of my posts, this one was written after receiving attitude from someone for not updating enough. This is for you, Gillian.)Last week I was excited to gchat with my brother John. Here is a portion of our gchat:
me: hi, John!
John: hi rachel
me: Are you at school?
John: yes I'm making a pizza kit for lunch
me: are you eating lunch soon? It is so early!
John: I'm making the pizza first and putting it in the oven. Then I will eat it
me: very smart It will take a long time to cook
John: I better go so I can start making my pizza. Have a good day Talk to you later
This might sound like an innocent gchat. But compare this to John's normal emails:
Dear, Rachel
Good Morning Rachel 4:30 Clock Hello Mommy 5'o Clock Mommy John Bowling. I miss you coming home.
Love, John
Do you see a difference? YES! The person I was gchatting with was NOT JOHN!!!!!!!!!!! So if "John" starts asking for your credit card number over gchat, JUST SAY NO!
Very suspicious indeed *raised eyebrow and chin stroke*
ReplyDeleteGlorious! I love that John contracts out his gchatting. He's probably much more efficient with his time. Strategy noted.
ReplyDeleteI love John. Oh how I love John. And I especially love John through Rachel's eyes. :)
nooo! who was it!?! So sketchy
ReplyDeleteWhenever I get an e-mail from John it's like this. And I think, "wow, John has started communicating in simple, declarative, bland statements."
ReplyDeleteJohn sends emails (and apparently gchats)as part of his writing curriculum. I can just see him looking at the aide for guidance in what to write and then how to spell it. At least I was able to talk him out of the flight to SLC he somehow thought was scheduled for Monday. He accepted a trip to Target instead.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara! Ever since I read this post I have wondered who it was that was really sending the chat . . .
