Previous Message And increasingly, we're the dinosaurs being phased out. Previous Message But man, that is crazy, how are these kids going to be functioning members of society? Previous Message Youngest daughter (a high school freshman) has Homecoming on Saturday. (Her high school doesn't have football, so homecoming is held the Saturday after a Friday night boys basketball game.) She has a date (also a freshman) who asked her to the dance. Here's where the old man (me) starts yelling at the clouds. THEY HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ONE ANOTHER. He asked her to the dance via Snapchat, and evidently they communicate regularly though the app, and even though they have a class or two together then have never spoken to each other. So on Saturday, this boy is going to come to our house (with his parents as he's too young to drive) to pick up my daughter for the homecoming dance and will likely speak to me when I open the front door before he has ever talked to my daughter. How awkward is that? And on top of that, his parents (who we have never met) will be over as well for pictures. Guess I'll have a few beers ready to offer at least the boy's Dad. As a very nice gesture, they did offer for us to ride along with them to another spot where the kids were meeting friends for pictures prior to the dance. In lieu of more awkwardness we politely declined.
