From an anonymous (unless he chooses to reveal himself) friend over AIM:
(17:47:59) there should be a rule about parents IMing
(17:48:10) my dad IMs me every day with the most meaningless day-to-day crap
(17:48:15) “what are you having for dinner?”
(17:48:39) I mean, I get that my parents love me, blah blah blah, but I have no fucking clue what I’m having for dinner
