That's Foul.

Facebook, a social networking site that keeps us connected with those we haven’t seen in years, loved ones and friends. It helps us keep tabs on where they’ve been, what they been up to and possibly where they are going.

I've been on face book for over 5 years now, I have cousins up there I haven’t seen in 15 years, to aunts and friends I see every day. There are teachers and classmates up there from kindergarten. It’s a joy being able to talk to them and reminisce on the pass and see how well they are doing now.

You even get people that you don’t know from a hole in a wall, wanting to be your ‘friend’. This leads me to this story. My dad doesn't lives in New York and I haven’t seen him in years. So, my aunt tells me “oh you know your father is on facebook?” I said, “No, I didn’t know that.”

Cool, I thought, that’s good for him. So time went on, my uncle (his brother) signed up for facebook. He instantly requested me and even sent me a family tree request. My uncle asked me how I was doing, commented under my pictures and even told me he was proud of me.

Still, no request from ‘Dad’.  I get home one day and my cousin asked me if he had sent me request. At this point, it was still no request from him, so I said no and I asked her why she asked. She said because he sent her a friend request the other day, and she thought maybe he finally sent me one.

Oh word, so you gonna send the whole family request on facebook but don’t send you first child one? And you believe I’m gonna send you love, forget the fact that you don’t call,  the one way that we can keep up with each other and you don’t even want to take that step. Foul, but I’ll live.
