I was informed by my teenager that my blog was highly inappropriate and I should cease and desist these shenanigans because people she knows read my blog.
At first I couldn’t figure out what she was talking about. I thought maybe she was referring to this post or maybe this one. (because when I think of embarrassing, those are the two that immediately to the forefront of my mind). Yet all of those things happened long ago. I can’t imagine a teenager reading through years of blog posts on this mundane blog in order to find some good dirt on my girl. Especially since I don’t really blog about her. I’m trying hard to respect her privacy and encourage trust.
Me: What are you talking about?
Her: Your magic? The family planning aisle? Sheesh! Teenagers are reading this! Inappropriate!
So I guess the inappropriateness was a few weeks ago when I blogged about things like library fines, becoming vagabonds, buying condoms, and watching movies with the kids.
Me: So, my blog isn’t really geared towards teenagers. I advertise on my facebook to my friends who are all adults. Remember, I don’t friend minors for this exact reason.
Her: You do know your blog is public. It is incredibly easy to find! I can just search for your name and find it! (turns out if you search for my name on google, I pop up number 6, but it’s not my blog it’s my pinterest account. Number 6 though, I’m freaking famous!)
Me: I’m rather flattered that teenagers are searching for me on the internet! Do you think I should start blogging about things that interest teens. How about things like “100 reasons texting is better than making a phone call” or maybe “Justin Beiber, he’s so cute!” or…
Her: Mom!
Ooooo I love Bieber! You should do a whole blog just on how devastating his haircut was….
I like how you and Nate had to get in on her pic with Nate’s funny face! Cute pic of her though. Everyone but the teenagers enjoy your blog – keep it up!
I wonder how many hits google is sending your way with Chanel and Beiber on the same page.
Sadly, none so far. Thanks for trying to increase the traffic though 🙂
