When you give a 10-year-old girl your old phone, she discovers texting.
And, when she discovers texting, she discovers emoticons.
And, when she discovers emoticons, she has to use them…a lot.
And, when she uses them a lot, she stays up way too late texting pictures of lollipops, baby chicks hatching, and gold trophies.
And, when she stays up late texting silly pictures for no apparent reason, her mother texts her from her own bed to tell her to go to sleep.
And, when her mother tells her to go to sleep and then posts the screenshot of said instruction on Instagram, the 10-year-old who had not yet gone to sleep sees it and comments on it and is caught.
Apparently, she discovered Instagram as well as texting.
