But I Need to MSN!
Written by WishBoNe on June 6, 2007 – 2:02 pmOverheard by a colleague.
7-year-old son: Mummy, when are we going overseas?
Mum: Next week.
Son: Can bring Daddy’s laptop along?
Mum: Why?
Son: So I can MSN.
Mum: But we are going overseas to enjoy, not to MSN.
Son: I want to MSN my friends! I need to chat with them!
Mum: We won’t bring Daddy’s laptop.
Son: Then I stay with Grandma.
Gosh, he’s only 7 or 8 and already is adept in using MSN and chatting. What are the kids learning in school or from their friends these days?

When I was his age, there was the typewriter. I didn’t know how to type. I guess with the exposure in this age, kids are starting to know how to type at an early age.
