(No names have been changed to protect the innocent… cuz that wouldn’t be fun for me)

Last weekend our babysitter who’s also my lil high school friend Paige was babysitting for the HickeyChicks plus Spaceman.  If you’re just joining us~ that’s my  4 kids and yes, most of my friends are in high school even though I’m 38. WHAT?

Paige brought young fast runner James whom she knows from another school.  Their budding like for another was apparent to even the most oblivious person. If you’re just joining us~ that most oblivious person would be my husband who couldn’t find his ONE belt even if it were stapled to his hand.  WHAT?  You think it’s poor planning that someone who has to wear a belt everyday only has one belt? Me, too.

Paige shows me a text from him “I have fallen for you.”   Aww, cute.  The next text: “I think we should change our Statuses.”

Yesterday my 2nd child Allie Grace rushes in from 5th grade: “Serena and Nicholas are back together!”  We immediately run to the computer to confirm.

If you’re following along in the 21st century, you may know that I am referring the Facebook.   A chaste kiss, a note to say “Will you go with me?”— days gone by.  Now you change your Relationship Status to “In a Relationship”. Conversely, many times I get on to find that Seth or Tamra is now “Single”.   When one becomes “Engaged” we will see the ring (uploaded via Iphone or Blackberry for Facebook, natch) and learn whom they are Engaged To — this person’s name now appearing large in their profile, with a link to them.  Because surely both parties were on Facebook- or else how else would they IM to get to know each other?

I wonder if Mark Zuckerberg had any clue how HUGE  Facebook would be and take over the world when he invented it!?  Changing our lexicon: “Did you’friend’ him?”  ”Have you seen her Status?”  ”What a goofy profile pic” , “You’ll have to Become a Fan of my site”. If only now he could invent a Facebook app (Dad, that’s an ‘application’ not, a chip-n-dip.) to Find Jerry’s Belt & Find Me Some Non High School friends.

Forget about the Find Me Some Non-High School friends part. They are the fastest IM-ers & have all joined up on the NotSoSoccerMom Fanpage!
