It is funny, and almost kind of scary, that I can tell what type of attitude my 16 year old has, through a text message. I asked a simple question, and she replied with a snotty answer. What did I do? I told her to lose the attitude!

“How do you know I have an attitude?”

“Because I am your Mom, and I can hear your voice and see the look on your face as I read your text messages!”

“Fair enough” she says.

Being rude through social media is not acceptable. You better talk to me electronically the same way you talk to me when we are in front of each other.

And Yes, I can also hear you roll your eyes, from the back of my head where I keep an extra set of eyes and ears!
