SIX WORDS FOR FACEBOOK

Subversive Pygmies. Teen movies. Shoe tying.

FACEBOOK

I joined Facebook some time ago and forget to check in to see what's up with my friends. When I do I find odd things that I don't understand. One friend is dancing with the elves. What does that mean? Is it code for something? Is she secretly employed by the CIA and is negotiating with subversive Pygmies? And what does dancing have to do with it? Is that code for dancing around danger? I just don't know.

Another is drinking herbal tea and thinking about watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Why is she only thinking about it? Is it because she's a grown-up and thinks she shouldn't watch such things? Does she worry that her husband might come into the room and say, "Why aren't you watching some horrible shoot-um-up-kill-people-dead, shooting-up-with-heroin-on-the-streets, or one of the many I'll sue-the-pants-off-you-because-you-won't-pay-for-my-dog's-bad-breath-treatment? She should just go ahead and watch Sisterhood.

Someone else tied their shoes. Hell-O. So did I, but I didn't mention it today. Was I supposed to? Is that an accomplishment in today's world?

I don't even know how to find a list of who is on my Facebook "team." Is it a team? If it's not a team then what is it?

I think I'm too old for Facebook. I'm going to bed. Should I announce that on Facebook, do you think?
