Never Add Family Members to Your Online Social Network

I know it's a mistake from the very beginning. The first family member I added in high school is my aunt, then I found my mom spent more time on the phone with her and...

"You fucked up your physics exam again?" "Mom..."

"It's not a good idea to bitch about XXX on facebook. What if she knows it one day?" "Mom, as long as you don't tell her..."

"So yesterday evening you were actually not working on some math problems at XXX's home, right? Where were you?" "Mom..."

Then facebook was blocked. It took me a long time to persuade her that it was not me who blocked it.

Soon I found a new land, renren, a copied version of facebook. I guess it copies facebook down to every detail except the speech freedom. I applied for an account.

Unsurprisingly our new land was invaded by a faction called "Mothers Union". No matter how cute, artistic, or even sexy their avatars are, we can regonize them. They gave up their disguise before long and we have to tolerate being spied on in broad day light.

Leah:"In the last subway to the downtown and will meet the friends from Nanjing in KTV in 2 hours, almost 1am then ahaha that's crazy! @XX @ XXX Are you coming?"

Sunny Bay @Leah:"Be alert to guys around! It's 11pm. No next time promise me, or I'll let you mom know."

XXX @Leah:"Sorry, it's my mom. I'll make it up later. Metroline 9? What's your next stop? I'll get in at Xujiahui."

And next morning I was woken up by my mom's rage and roar on the phone.

What's worse, sometimes you just feel down and scrabble something online, it can be a signal magnified into a message "my girl is suicidal" to your mom. My solution to this crisis is simple and it always works - "Mom, it's just a song. Haven't you listened to Eason Chen's new album? It's in it." She won't say no, lest I exclaim "MOM YOU'RE OUT!"

Somehow our grandparents became interested in online social network. My cousin pays regular visits to my grandfather on weekends. Yesterday she took her laptop with her and she told me later in the afternoon that my grandfather was waiting for me to sign in the whole morning, while I was doing laundry at dorm. When I finally signed in and set about preparing for finals, he asked my cousin, "What's she going to do?" "Preparing for final exams I guess."

"Oh, then I won't disturb her. Tell her that I'm proud of her and she'll be fine. I'll check my wine. My granddaughter loves the wine I make. Gotta make sure she'll have enough stock when I'm not able to make more...
