One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for February 18, 2010

I’m thinking that Frank is sending those types of email to Ellen. That would explain why she is all shook up.

Don’t you mean text messages, Mom?

Unless someone else is pestering (harassing) her.

She’s right. Girls like a little more romance than you’re hot let’s hook up.

My husband never send me love notes at work and where I work at the internet is monitored. Thats all little boys want to hear from their mom’s about writing love notes. The boy’s might learn how to write but it won’t be love poems. Joe is thinking how gross mom.

The only thing my son wanted to learn cursive for was to have a signature. He prints or types everything else, but he has the most elegant signature! (Looks prettier than mine, but then he takes forever to write it, too.)

I get yelled at for being cursive.

learn Twitter kid. You can do it for a celeb for a living.

I remember when I first learned to write cursive. I thought I was growing up.

I have to admit my printing is much more nicer than my cursive.

I really don’t like my writing, be it printing or cursive. Gimme a printer! So many nice fonts. I still compose the message.

Joe is right. Mom doesn’t get it. When Joe is 15 he is gonna use what works. When teen boys (or girls) decide they just want quick hookups, romantic factors are laughably useless to both parties. Mom’s right to be disgusted, but she is not communicating. (At least Joe is thoughtful enough to listen to her and give it a moment to sink in. Maybe he’ll be one of those “quality teens”.)
