« When I grow up ... | Main | Young folks nowadays (Part II) »
I am IMing for the first time with my six year old daughter who is upstairs and she just picked me up on my spelling and did a wink smiley!
Bear in mind that she has never used iChat before and I hadn't explained to her how to use smileys.

Wait until she starts IM'ing you at work! The other day I was going through numbers on a spreadsheet with someone from Finance when "Hello Poo Head!" appeared in the middle of the screen... :-)

This an absolutely beautiful exchange. The unbearable, overwhelming, ecstatic joy of having children perfectly captured. Thank you for sharing this. I'm welling up. Mind you she'll probably end up suing you for breach of confidence once she's old enough to have her own lawyer. Which I think is about nine and a half these days.

They both, I think, understand what the internet is and both, I hope, understand the context in which they say yes or no.
