Conversation with My Son

Tyler has been complaining about ringing in his ears, so he had an appointment with an ENT today to rule out any problems. We were both surfing on our phones while we were in the waiting room. I ran across a post on FB about things teens think their parents don't know about social media and showed it to Tyler. While we were talking about it, I asked him if anyone had ever asked him for or sent him "nudes" (as the "kids" now call them). He said someone actually had asked him a few weeks ago, and he took a screen shot of the conversation. He pulled it up on his phone and showed it to me. I was so proud of his response...and I laughed so hard at it...that I asked him to forward it to me so I could share it. This is most of the text:




Was the sender serious? The person who asked him is someone who used to go to his school but doesn't any more. She claimed her boyfriend sent the text and was just joking around. Tyler said she's the kind of person that would see if she could get you to respond so she could humiliate you. So, I don't know if it was meant to be a serious request, but I absolutely love how Tyler handled it.

As far as Tyler's ears, everything checked out normal. We'll wait a few months and see if it goes away on its own. It's possible his brain is just louder than most. :)
