Juice, 13 years old going on 19, wants a facebook account. She cannot have one due to two (2) reasons: 1.) There are creepy people out there and 2.) There are super creepy people out there. In my day, we had a spiral notebook and No.2 lead pencil if we wanted to write to our friends. A "wall" was used to display my posters of Corey Haim and Siberian tigers, not something I commented "OMG, I miss you so much xoxoxo" when I just saw them in the hallway.
In Juice's quest to change my mind about Facebook, I received this email:
Dear Mother
I, The Juice, have a question for you, Jami Lynn. All my friends have a Facebook and I feel left out that I am unable to join in on the facebook fun. I am willing to do anything you ask. Clean my room? You got it! Do the dishes? Of course! I promise that i will not put up anything thing bad and also to keep pictures of myself to a minimum.
Remember I love you very much and i respect you and what you decide. You can frequently look on my page and post stuff on my wall. I will even be your buddy! Just remember I love you.
With all love,
The JuiceConvincing but the answer is still no. If only she could experienced the joy I had when it was Oregon Trail day in the computer lab.

Laughed out loud at this one :) Pretty sure me and juice are the same person.
