''Now now now thats going to far for me a 37 year old knows this already now please don't send more mails as i won't be able to reply to them you know as we are selling this one and my old one has gone to be repaired.
Hope you understand''
A master-stroke of genius on her part. Posing to be an old, wise woman of the world. I hadn't laughed so hard in months.

Hi Yashodhara. I have been following your blog for 2 years. While this incident is funny admittedly, but I gotta give it to your daughter for handling a potential cyber bully with so much smartness. You must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha...:D last one is simply genius!!...:)
ReplyDeleteTooo cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Y, have been a regular at your blog but always too lazy or laughing too hard or pondering too deep to comment. Does Peanut get to read your posts about her? How does she react? Am sure the Lil boys don't care what's being written about them. :)
