My Mom's on Facebook

It is true my dear friends.

Initially she signed up because my sister would have new Facebook pictures of her and her husband's crazy travels (what up Coro and Tonro!), and I would have to sign in each time for her to see them.

But now I think she's going to be a regular Facebooker.

I helped her sign up, helped her enter her email and create a password, and then Facebook suggested a few friends for her based on her email address and, when the results appeared, she nearly fell out of her seat. "HOW DOES IT KNOW WHO I KNOW!? HOW DOES IT KNOW WHO I KNOW?!??? OH MY GOD!!! I went to high school with her! That name sounds familiar who is that guy...oh yeah! We dated! ahahahaha!!"

It's the Future... the Internet knows all!!

So she uploaded a picture, sent out some friend requests, and accepted some requests from others. Notice my use of the word "some" I italicized it so, ya know, you should have. She seems a little more than hesitant to accept some friend requests from those she only kinda knows. Or to be more specific: "ooh no one likes that woman, why did she request me, I don't want her on my page!" Snobby Facebooker my Mother.

Now every so many minutes she tells me how many more friends she has....she's up to 11....look out Internet...here comes WANDA!

That's hilarious. My mom is also on Facebook but hasn't friended me yet. I'm not upset by this :)

I have officially become Master of Facebook around here and every two minutes my mom is asking a question about "how do you 'share' something someone posted" or "what happens when you 'poke' someone??" and this morning I asked her to make breakfast for me (joking) and she said "no, I can't I'm late for work and I haven't checked my Facebook yet!"
