In a previous posting, I mentioned that the mom of one of my students had been spamming his Facebook Wall. I'm not good at screen captures and edits, so you'll have to trust me that this a true chronological rendition of the relevant postings (with the names changed; Joe is my student, Mary is his mom):
Joe: Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass....it's about learning how to dance in the rain. Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Karen (Joe's sister?): I love how you stole this from your mother :)
Joe posted a link to Mary's wall [This video, presumably]
Mary (Joe's Mom): Joe, you are such a nice boy, any girl would be privileged to date you. [Tuesday 4:04pm]
Mary: So, Joe....you should be studying, not sending me bazaar video clips on facebook. [Tuesday, 4:05pm]
Mary: Actually, that should be bizarre....I believe:) [Tuesday, 4:07pm]
Mary: I was thinking about you today, and I was concerned about your hearing, have you cleaned your ears lately? Are you brushing your teeth after every meal? Do you have enough deodorant? You won't find a girl if you smell bad! [Tuesday, 4:09pm]
Mary: Your mommy loves you sooooo much!!!! [Tuesday, 4:10pm]
Mary: Do you have enough toilet paper in your apartment? [Tuesday, 4:11pm]
Mary: We can't have you washing your bum in the sink like in Step Brothers. I can fedex some over if you need some. [Tuesday, 4:15pm]
This was beginning to sound suspicious. An hour later, there were two comments on the above posting,
Susan: An hour ago your mom was at work which makes me think she left her Facebook open and her wonderful daughters are having some fun. [Tuesday, 5:39pm]
Karen: actually, I hate to tell you this but it was totally her..(look at the video on mom's facebook if you are confused) [Tue at 5:43pm]
Joe: really regrets sending his mother this video.... [Tuesday, 6:09pm]
Next morning:
Mary: So, Joe, what are you up to today? Working hard on school work I hope and staying away from all those bad girls who go to school with you. [Wed 9:12am]
Joe: wishes he was your derivative, so he could lie tangent to your curves.... [Wed 11:56am], followed by several comments from his university friends.
Mary: How are you going to get a nice girl if you talk like that? [one minute later! Wed, 11:57am]
Mary: Joe, are you using your time efficiently and effectively? [Wed, 10:47pm]
this was followed by five comments:
Joe: Mother, you have taken this too far...If you wish to talk to me, please call me. You know I would love to talk to you anytime. Miss you too mom! Wed at 10:50pm
Mary: I cannot stalk you on facebook if I am on the phone. This is so much more fun. Wed at 10:51pm
Susan: Hey, can I get in on this too? It looks like so much fun. Wed at 10:55pm
John (Joe's brother): Stalk your own kids, Susan; Mom's got Joe covered. Wed at 11:14pm
Susan: But Joe is more fun. Besides Brian does not have me as a friend. Now I know why. Thursday at 7:12am
Actually, it sounds as if they were all having some fun at Joe's expense, even though I think Joe was a bit embarrassed ...
