I was only Becca Davis’ friend for 24 hours until she noticed that I secretly invited myself onto her profile as her friend when she left her Facebook open on my computer.

She had 1056 friends, I didn’t think she would notice one more – I was wrong. I had to join Facebook just so I could be her friend. Then I got 11 new friends and I was like WOW this is neat. Now I only have 10 friends. She defriended me! She came downstairs tonight and said  ”You hacked into my profile and added yourself as my friend, didn’t you?”  I could not tell a lie. Not because I stand on some moral high ground but just the opposite. I was darned proud that I was able to seize the opportunity and figure out how to add myself as her friend. She gave me a lot more credit than I was due when she thought I got into her profile in some devious manner when all I did was go on after she forgot to exit out. I got caught because Facebook sent a note saying that I had accepted her as a friend. She said “there is no way I would ever have invited you to be my friend”.  Then she added in a very condescending tone  ”You used your own name, of course I would knew it was you!  It said “Ann Garell Davis accepts your invite.” How stupid are you? You should have made up some other name instead of using your own.”  Well, first of all young lady I didn’t think of that. Secondly, I didn’t have the time. And third – what kind of person would be sneaky and dishonest enough to use an alias?  What do you take me for?  “Mom – you hacked into my personal space – I take you for the sneak that you are, a stupid sneak, but a sneak none the less and you should be ashamed.”  Yeah right! Embarrassed at getting caught maybe but not ashamed for trying. If only I knew more about Facebook, I might have gotten away with it. She took pity on me and gave me a little tutorial about Facebook so that I might find more friends my own age. And she said that she might refriend me but I can’t see any photos. I will be restricted. I will have blocks and locks on what I can see. Limited access only. Apparently there are pictures of parties – probably at my house when I wasn’t home. She wants to know why I want to be her friend. I told her because I only have 10 friends and that is pitiful and I have to use my children as my friends because they are the reason I don’t have any friends anymore.  I have no shame. She probaby won’t let me be her Facebook friend – she is probably just saying that so she can use the car this weekend. She’s sneaky like that – I wonder where she gets it from?
