In Dead Earnest

[Shutpa]

A woman walking through a graveyard sees four men walking up a path carrying a coffin. Suddenly, the coffin bearers break into a trot. "What on earth are the up to" said the woman to the graveyard gardner? "Ignore them", he said in dead earnest, "They've completely lost the plot".

This is just one of three stories that my daughter brought home from school today. After hearing the second, Mrs B said that she'd rather not hear the third because, if it was anything like the second, it would be too scary. I agreed, but listened anyway. It was too long to repeat here.

I have just emailed a copy of that "joke" to my 14 y.o. She probably already has it!

On one day alone, she sent 419 IMs according to the "advise a parent what your teen has been doing on the net today" !

Do other parents communicate with their children who live at home by email?

At the moment with my current number of boiler repairs she leaves home before I get up and goes to bed before I get back!

Last weekend she said she had not seen me for five days! Didn't say if that was good or bad though!
