My 8-year-old daughter is learning to text. I’m teaching her appropriate use of technology. Here is the funny conversation we had this morning!
Carrie was staying home with a cough. I was dropping off her brother at school, then stopping at Safeway to pick up chicken soup, yogurt, and medicine for her.
7:44am Carrie: I’m watching you on Find My Friends**
8:02am Are you coming home yet?
8:03am ?
8:07am Hello? Are you there
8:15am Alicia Katz Pollock: I have to stop at Safeway to get ingredients for chicken and dumplings. Is there anything you want me to get for you today?
8:17am Carrie: Paula told me that that there was a key lime pie yogurt at Safeway, if you find some buy a few containers. They are the little containers
Her mom said they had them at Safeway
Alicia Katz Pollock:
You are on a Keylime kick!
Carrie:
Paula said it’s REALLY good
8:23am Did you find it
8:27am ???
8:28am Alicia Katz Pollock: When you text, you have to wait for an answer, not pester the sender
8:29am Carrie: Ok
Well, did you find it?
Alicia Katz Pollock: that is pestering
Carrie: Sorry
Alicia Katz Pollock: I’m not in that aisle yet, so be patient
8:33am Carrie: Tell me when you find it
Sorry, pestering
8:34am Alicia Katz Pollock: Go look up “pester” in your dictionary
Then tell me what it says
8:37am Carrie: It says, pester to harass or annoy
Alicia Katz Pollock: Got it?
Carrie: Got what
Alicia Katz Pollock: Understand?
Carrie: Yes
Alicia Katz Pollock: Good. Thank you.
8:40 Carrie: In the dictionary it has the periodic table
8:41 Alicia Katz Pollock: That’s cool!
And yes, I got them!
Carrie: You got the key lime pie yogurt!
Alicia Katz Pollock: Yes
Carrie:
