Mom: Hi pumpkin!

AIM away message: Hi Mom, since you haven’t yet grasped aim fully, I just want you to know, I’m not ignoring you. this is an automatic pop up when I’m not here, please don’t leave anymore passive aggressive messages for me to return to.

Mom: well did you have to put that up for the world to see?

Mom: Why aren’t you answering me? You just wrote something 2 seconds ago. Where did you go?
