2. The new name for hide and seek is “Foursquare.”
3. The phrase “He’s all thumbs” is considered a huge compliment for a fast texter.
4. Every house with kids in it proudly displays their avatars on the mantle in the den; no one seems to recall what a school picture is.
5. No one talks anymore. We simply chat.
6. When someone says “Smile for the picture”, you immediately think emoticon :)
7. Kids laugh at their parents when we describe how TweetDeck worked.
8. On special occasions, family dinner means Grandma shares her story, “When I was your age and had to tweet from my Blackberry, we paid $12 to see the ‘Avatar’ movie in 3D and got these silly glasses….”
