6

<p>This IS hilarious! Just sent it to my D!</p>

<p>Do yourself a favor and freeze the video so you can read e-moms tweets. Absolutely precious. Onion knows that its all in the details.</p>

8

<p>I posted it on my facebook. It is hilarious.</p>

<p>Just joined facebook last week; this cracked me up!!</p>

<p>Definitely worthy of a Facebook posting.</p>

<p>I came thisclose to posting this on Facebook, but I know a few college moms and dads who might think it was talking about them, and I decided maybe to not. (have family members who have other family members friended with their kids and reporting what they see, yikes!) Am really glad to not have had this temptation when my kids were in school.</p>

<p>Bravo!!!</p>

13

<p>Garland, I am not friends with my kids on FB either, though I have an account. I don’t tweet. </p>

<p>The video is funny though.</p>

14

<p>LOL, the twitter pages are the best part.</p>

<p>& this is why i would never friend my mom/dad…D:</p>

15

<p>Up on my facebook it goes…</p>

<p>hilarious.</p>

<p>D2 finally saw the TV commercial of the mom and dad facebooking and tweeting to their two teenage kids, and how aghast the kids were, and thought it was brilliant. Both my kids have friended me, but I’m pretty sure they censor what I can and can’t see. Doesn’t bother me a bit. I did tell them that, as their mother, I have the right to publicly wish them happy birthday on their facebooks, but that’s it.</p>

16

<p>thats a riot!! I love it. My kids, however, would find it not so funny…</p>

17

<p>Soozie–I actually am FB friends with my D, but since she’s almost 27, we’re way past the needing to spy on stage. But when she was 18? That’s when info should be through direct communication only; what happens at college, stays at college.</p>

<p>

so true, garland! this should be added to a list of cc mantras for parents along with “love your safety”. </p>

<p>DS showed me this Onion article yesterday - just hilarious!</p>

19

<p>I love the tweets the mom posts! Oh how I would love to post something about when my ds should be wearing a warm coat!</p>

<p>I posted it on my FB. My daughter (the only child that will friend me) was the first person to give it a thumbs up. I laughed out loud when I watched it.</p>
