ELIZABETH (age 11): [checking her Twitter page on my laptop]
JONATHAN (age 10): (looking over her shoulder) So, you’re old enough to have a Twitter, but not a Facebook?
ELIZABETH: (older sister voice) Well, I don’t think there’s an age limit on Twitter, but on Facebook you’re supposed to be like, 13.
WILL (age 8): (from the other room) COOL! I CAN HAVE A TWITTER!
JONATHAN: (exasperated. of course. I hardly need to tell you that.) Wiiiilllll, you kinda need a phone to have a Twitter. You don’t want to be out someplace and every time you need to Twitter, you have to go find an actual computer to get on Twitter. I mean you could, but it kind of defeats the purpose.
WILL: (examining the empty paper towel roll he’s holding) COOL! THIS LOOKS LIKE A BOOMERANG!
love. it.
