Communication in 2008

Do you know that when you need to call a child in this house you have to SMS them. They never hear you call. It's a bit obscene. Blacksono hides in his room with the door closed playing COH listening to Dream Theater. The girl child is rarely home - even when she is here she is usually sitting outside on a park bench. So we have to use technology to contact them. Talking just does not work anymore.

listen to this one: other night I go passed blacksono's room to check if blackdaughtero was back from jolling in town. 2:15 am. The boychild is talking to gaming friends online while listening to music and shooting things. (literally talking, microphones, headphones etc.) the excuse was that the friends live in the USA and this is the only time they are all awake at the same time, so come on mom, give me a break. That stumped me. It was the weekend, so I ended up suggesting strongly that he find some friends IN HIS OWN TIME ZONE. I bet my parents never had to say that to me.
luxury- you try to tell the young people of today that,,, they'd never believe ya.
