Last night the boy and I were sitting in a room with the TV on. We weren’t really watching; I was reading and he was memorizing the amendments. Ah, high school.

The commercial came on — the one for some cell phone provider where everyone is speaking in text language, even grandma who tells mom to MYOB because she’s texting her BFF Rose.

The boy looked at me and said he feared for the world. I said, “Two things you must remember: never forget how to spell and never forget the importance of face to face interaction.”

And then I said he’d be fine. If only it were that simple.
