A story I received over the Internet:
When my son Alex began spending lots of time in the Internet chat rooms, I worried that his grades would suffer. I made him promise to do schoolwork until I returned home at 5p.m.
One day at 4:30 I decided to check up on him. Using my office computer, I went on-line and entered his favorite chat room. To my dismay I saw Alex's name among the list of current participants and immediately decided to teach him a lesson in front of his cyber friends. "Alex," I typed, "this is your mother, and you are grounded for two weeks!"
"Hi, Mrs. Meyers," came a reply. "This is Jeffery. Alex's doing homework right now, and he said I could use his computer. But I'll be sure to let him know that he's been grounded."
