…our niece, Danielle, is a member of eleventeen billion Facebook groups. One afternoon, James rapid-fire read them off, as we collapsed in laughter, because they are so indicative of how kid brains work. Sure, technology has come a long way since I was her age, like, we have the Wii instead of Magic Merlin, but the sheer silliness is still there.<\/p>\n

For instance:<\/p>\n

\n
Danielle became a fan of I stay up late every night, and realize it’s a bad idea every morning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Danielle became a fan of i wonder if british people sit around trying to talk in an American accent?<\/div>\n
Danielle became a fan of “Hey can i have a Starburst?” “Here” “No, I want the pink one.”<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Danielle became a fan of Inbox (1) makes me nervous.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Danielle became a fan of I hate it when my parents wont answer their phone but get mad when i dont!<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Danielle became a fan of “OH, SO LET ME TELL YOU THIS STORY…” “Dude, I was there with you.” “Oh.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Danielle became a fan of 1 word texts to me mean: 1. you don’t care or 2. I did something wrong.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So now, I have caught myself thinking in terms of Fan Groups I Could Start, like,
\n
<\/p>\n
Jennifer became a fan of “I Hate When the Light Catches On My BlackBerry and I Think I Have A Message.”<\/p>\n
Jennifer became a fan of “I Get Worried When I Walk Into the Kitchen, Forget Why I Went There, And Wonder If It’s Early-Onset Alzheimer’s”<\/p>\n
Jennifer became a fan of\u00a0 “I Believe Office Supplies Can Change My Life”<\/div>\n
Jennifer became a fan of “Sometimes I Talk To Touch Screens As If They Could Hear Me”<\/div>\n
Jennifer became a fan of\u00a0 “I’m Becoming That Crazy Lady Who Yells At Cars Speeding Down My Street”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, Facebook, you certainly are a time suck.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
