This is pitiful...

[lizziegrace]

My daughter's home from college for break. She's updating her Facebook account and IM'ing me. I'm 6 feet from her.

Pathetic!

1. My friend's car stereo...

2. My wife ICQs me from our bedroom to the living room and vice versa.

"Pathetic" is a great word for it, but I love her enough to overlook it :)

[lizziegrace]

3. She just IM'd me

She found the remote to the TV...

In this small house, a remote's about as useful as the one in your friend's car!

4. My wife and I also use our cellphones...

in the house. To talk to each other, in the same house, like 40 feet away. We are so freekin' lazy ! Too lazy to yell !

[lizziegrace]

5. We're not QUITE that bad

but give us time!

:hi:

[4morewars]

6. LOL !

I'm going to WALK downstairs and tell her about this thread, even though my cell phone is right here, in front of me, soooo close.

OK , I'm out.

:hi:

7. Good thing I didn't call !

She's sleeping !

[lizziegrace]

8. Yeah

Good thing you didn't call her cell phone! :rofl:

15. This is one of the funniest threads

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. One morning I was too tired to ask my little brother something ...

I could have walked into his room - but I called him on his cell phone instead . I can't believe I was that lazy . I called and asked him to order us a pizza when I could have done it myself . I think I partied a bit too much the night before :hide:

12. That's fun!

Back in the days when we found it hard to talk to each other face-to-face, Mom and I would write notes to each other in a notebook. I later learned that she and her Mom did the same thing when she was a teen. It was great, because it took a lot of the emotional baggage out of the communication.

And how cool is it that she WANTS to IM you!?! :)

14. I AM lucky.

That, and her boyfriend's not online right now!

It's been fun catching up with her today. I'm still amazed she's my daughter. I'm so very blessed.

:hug:

16. It's better than intercom.

Not that you need an intercom at only 6 feet but it's fun when my house mate does it from her bedroom to mine. :)
