How do you explain internet culture to parents who aren't part of it ...

Ho-hum.

My parents know way more about internet culture than they should. My mom and sister are talking about Blowjob Girl right now... and earlier my mom sent my sister and me a video called 'Lol Together' that was a lolcats-based takeoff on 'Come Together'... >__>

My parents are on the internet more than I am.

They saw me on here like once and they were like... I wish I had that when I was a kid. My response was "You would've been too stoned to care." They ask me every once in a while if I'm getting good advice from that "weird college site"

My parents can barely get on the internet or use anything on it.

My parents are okay with the internet...actually, it's probably only a matter of time until they stumble across CC. My mom spends her lunch hour at work finding out things about college admissions I already know...yeah.

^Ha, my parents would probably feel that way to, if they knew about the site...the other night I said like one thing about the common app to my dad and he said "Do we have to hear about this for the next year now?"

I just read the first two posts but I can't believe she thinks this site's a waste! My parents would way rather me be on a site about school and academics and college than others like MySpace, even though they don't mind that at all.

I don't think that I've ever used this site for anything useful before. Almost all my posts are in the cafe (but my first few visits were restricted to the SAT prep forum). Now that I'm in college, I only come here when there's nothing to do on facebook, and when I've already posted on my blog.
My parents used to get on my case a lot before, but now since I'm not as frequently on this site as I used to be, they stopped.
