Congratulations!

I would like to publicly congratulate my father, Big Mike, for successfully mastering the art of instant messaging.

I used to try and scare Big Mike every time he was on the internet by sending him random instant messages, he thought it was interesting but did not know how I was doing it. THEN, last week out of the blue BIG MIKE INITIATED a conversation with me via Gmail Chat - I honestly sat and stared at the screen for nearly 10 minutes because I could not believe what was happening. It was the proudest moment of my life {soooo serious right now}. I even emailed to tell Cat, she told me she had the exact same feeling when her mother sent her a text message for the first time. Anyways... tonight, HE DID IT AGAIN! We had another successful conversation {of course I had to explain what lol, brb, and ttyl means, but we are getting there} AND, the best part... at the very end he wrote "I LOVE YOU" in all caps, maybe his finger slipped and hit the caps lock button, but I am claiming that he meant to do it for emphasis. Good job Dad, I LOVE YOU too.

Joyce is going to FREAK OUT when she hears she got a shout on your blog. One time I was typing a message on facebook and Joyce came up behind me and said "POS". I laughed till I was dead. Good job, Big Mike.

You act like we know nothing about the world of the Internet, so how do you do it anyway? How come I am not set up? I thought lol meant lots of love....tell us the translations, dad is old and he can't remember.
