Status Updates

A long time back, I remember being amused by this Calvin and Hobbes strip:
Fast forward to present day: I am at the receiving end of such updates from my daughter!

Some might say things are actually worse today; that we are subject to a similar barrage of updates from not just our kids but also our friends on Facebook and WhatsApp. But here’s the difference: at least those can be ignored. Or just for revenge, even liked without reading!

Now try doing that with your kid: well ok, it might work for some time until, that is, they catch on. And then will come a day when you want to hear from them and they just won’t bother...
