Reason to Smile #21: Grandmas on Facebook

“New message from Marjorie!”

This is one of the most startling things I have seen in awhile.  Since when does my grandma use facebook chat?  Then I read the message:

“I hope you are feeling better. I know you must have done well on your finals and are anxious to go home. Have a good trip.”

Although she began and ended a conversation in a single message, I felt like I should respond, since it was a chat conversation and all.

So I did.  And then I waited.

Pretty soon, the bubble popped up to show that she was replying.  I waited.  After a while, the bubble went away.  I waited.  After a while, the bubble reappeared.  I waited.

“New message from Marjorie!”

Anyway, I love my grandma.
