Alas! Babylon
The Bee once again crosses over from satire into true reality.
Not uncommon to be at a red light only to look over and see a mom on her cell phone with a car full of kids that are all wearing earbuds and looking down at an electronic device.
It’s no wonder today’s youth struggle to communicate in traditional ways.
Loved it! But, this worked for me:
The ex wired all of our computers together throughout the house; this was well before the days of laptops and iPads.
As a family, we played first-person shooter games. And we could also keep an eye on what any of them were up to at any given moment; it sucks when both parents work in IT. ;)
And, amazingly, none of the boys turned out to be snipers...usually because I kicked their butts on a regular basis playing ‘Doom’ or ‘Blood.’ We also had lots of real-life range time together and hosted a Trap Shoot (clay pigeons) at our farm every fall, once the crops were in.
Worked for me, Babylon Mom! Can’t hurt, might help! :)
