Cyber-world

Setting: We are at the "indoor" playground at the mall because it is 95 degrees and humid everyday.

Luke says to the girl with whom he is playing tag: "What is your user name?"

And Patrick and I almost choke....a username....did he even know her real name. And I realize they are growing-up in a different era. And I am a bit sad. And I think about throwing away the webkinz...the new toy that "interfaces" with the computer, i.e. you take care of your pet in the online world from whence it came. But he did use his money, and we did say....ok. Maybe he'll just stay 7 forever????
