This and That

Ack, I worry her cheeky charasmatic friend (a boy) sent the message as a joke. He's completely capable of that. Why won't thus bit respond?!?
Lighter
Hopalong:
I hear that.
Stories I hear, watch and read about young ones tell me that social media is weaponized.
But hopefully he's as sweet as he seems.
I am scared of social media. Just don't do it.
I'll text with girlfriends, but tell guys I don't like to build relationship that way...rather talk on the phone or meet.
I have no idea what adolescents are facing but worry from a distance.
Holding DD in the light as she treads this new territory, and hope it's happy for her. It may well be! You've taught her a strong sense of self. It's just the world and the weight of what they're all absorbing, good and ill.
Hops

So kind of you helping out your neighbours with food like that, Lighter. So important to eat well when you're ill, and yet the hardest thing to manage for yourself when you're poorly. A good friend of mine had cancer a few years ago and was living two hundred miles away, too far for me to do anything other than phone and send little gifts :( I think food gifts are such a blessing when you're not well - that and the care that goes with them means so much.
I hope it is the nice guy and not the friend playing a joke! Teenagers don't always realise how tender those feelings can be when they prank each other xx
lighter:
The boy sent the message, and is very nice. DD's friends are being somewhat controlled with their teasing.
Turns out DD and the boy are the only ones surprised by this mutual crush, as the friends have been "shipping" them for a while.
I'm going to enjoy this with DD, which means I'll resist worrying about the kids exchanging family histories.

Sounds like a good plan, Lighter! It is an interesting phase when people start swopping family stories. My sister's father-in-law died recently - when they went to the funeral she said to her kids "okay, this is how normal families behave". They'd not experienced it before :) xx
