Squabbles in the digital age






"I am never going to chat with her again. I don’t know why does she behave like that?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I am chatting with my "friend" online. She is bothering me big time and I had to block her, but she keeps on changing her screen name so even when I block her, she comes back alive online bugging me. She seems to have more than nine lives."
"Looks like you have a situation here!"
"It is not that serious, Dad. It is just too annoying. Did you have cat fights like that when you were growing up?"
"Well, not exactly. Internet did not exist when I was your age. No computer, no email, and no chatting or instant messaging. Life was rather simple."
"Sounds pretty boring to me!"
"Actually, I never felt it that way. All my contacts were “non-electronic” and fully human."
"So, how would you get into a fight, then?"
"Well, the only way to fight was to be mean to someone on the street and you usually would end up getting a bloody nose."
"Eww……"
"Yeah! Boys realize early on that if they want to keep their teeth in their mouth they must avoid street fights. They don’t do cat fights either because that is not macho enough for them. They fight for bigger things, like girls, money or land. It’s not worth loosing your teeth over small stuff. Isn’t it?"
"You are so right. All my girlfriends are so emotional, but boys are cool. May be I should have boys as friends?"
"Ahh! On second thought, sticking with your girl friends for now does not seem like a bad idea after all. You can handle a few cat fights, I guess!"
