I read recently that kids are using Facebook and other social media rather than blog. Blogging is so, passe. Then I thought about how I use Facebook. I always feel that my tweets or entries are just smiley faces. Like would I write a quick tweet that said, “My child is crying up a storm in his crib because he’s overtired and can’t fall asleep and it makes me feel like my stomach is filled with worms.”
Most likely not. Instead I write little things like Who Dat! and Happy Day! Oh look at me and my smiley face – why would I burden you with my woes.
No, children, you are right to stay away from blogging. Bloggers are tortured souls who love nothing more than to contemplate their navels and sing the body electric, we have nothing nice to say.
