How can I of all people yell at him for reading in bed?

My boy got a Kindle for Christmas. As part of the set up I gave him an email address that I established and set up passwords for. I am the default address so I’ll be able to keep an eye on what’s going on in there.

This weekend he asked me to show him how to use email so he could email me and his sister. I also sent the address to his grandmother.

We’ve been in a bit of an email war ever since.

My first email to him: Hi! I see you sitting over there on the other end of the couch.

Bandit: HI!

Me: You smell funny.

Bandit: Puppies are cooler than you.

Me: You, sir, are weird.

Then there’s a flurry of talk about who’s weirder and whose fault that might be.

We can hear him giggling from his bedroom where he’s supposed to be asleep, instead he’s sending me emails from his bunk bed.

Remember the good old days when you’d just holler down the hall at your kids?
