Boys are a BAD Influence!

I don't have boys. I have a dad, a brother, and a husband. They are my link to the male world. I admit at this point in my life the male world is a place that I don't spend much time.

My sweet darling, girly, girl Beth has a young friend named Z. (Yes, he is the same Z. who was a volunteer yesterday.) Beth and Z have developed the type of bond that makes you go "Oh their so cute!" Physically they could pass for a boy/girl twin set.

When we got back to Mrs. D's house yesterday, Beth and Z begged to be allowed time for a playdate. Mrs. D offered to drive Beth to karate so they could have a few hours together. I left to get the other kids to drama.

Later that evening I got the phone call. "Mrs. March, It's Mrs. D. I'm just calling to apologize for what happened today. Beth and Z were in the computer room and Z showed Beth how to get on Runescape. He helped her set up an account and everything. She is very proud of her character. It has a pink hat and a pink dress."

This made me flash back to another phone call I had shortly after Mrs. D left my home last July. "Mrs. March, it's Mrs. D. I'm just calling to say that I am really sorry. When we got into the car Z kept saying that he couldn't leave yet because she wasn't registered. It took me a while to understand what he was trying to tell me. Apparently Z set up an account for Beth on nick dot com."

Just for the record. My girls did not know nick dot com, club penguin, and several other websites before Z introduced Beth to them. They were nice proper technologically illiterate, book loving, homeschool nerds. All I can say is that boys are a bad influence!
