i found my niece and nephew on facebook. i'm debating whether or not to add them as friends. LOL--they might think i'm spying on them for their mom (my sister). they each have over 200 friends, probably all high school students (near as i can tell--i am not going to sift through 2 friendslists that long!).
for some reason this amuses me, in a "cosmic joke" sort of way. they are nearly adults (my niece technically already is an adult), yet i remember carrying them around as teeny babies, changing their diapers, feeding them, etc. now they are into "social networking."
the cosmos is nudging me: "get a move on. life is short, death is long, and you're not getting any younger."
dammit, i'm not sure i'm getting any wiser, either.
p.s. added much later: surprise! they both added me as a friend! i find this deeply flattering, for some reason. they are cool kids, and i'm a big, old nerd.
