"Is that what people do with their blogs?" mom asked me this morning. I just laughed...
Before running errands this afternoon I sat giggling at a few of my favorite blogs but their content made mom turn her head sideways rather quizzically. People writing about dreams, classmates, and neighbors just didn't quite appeal to her. Milbloggers don't hold her attention and geeky talk is just over her head. She doesn't understand what a blogmeet is, she's concerned a fellow blogger may kill me (if I meet him/her in real life), and she doesn't understand why people would take the time to write all of this stuff down...
Because we like to, dear mother...because we want to share our thoughts or information, because we saw something super cool, because we want to promote tourism in our neck of the woods, or maybe because we can be free on the internet from the confinement life sometimes offers...
but most of all, it's still because we like to...
But, unconvinced of the satisfaction a blog can bring, she still thinks it's because we have too much time on our hands...
Haha, that's funny!

Hopefully, you kept her away from my place. Yesterday's theme might have creeped her out...
I never have been able to make a good first impression on a woman's mom.
