A recent conversation with my 15 year old went something like this...
Me: "I thought you had to study? You have exams soon!"
Him: "I am studying!"
Me: "Then why is the instant messenger bleeping all of the time? Doesn't sound like studying!"
Him: "We have an Internet study group, we are asking each other question."
I slyly peek at the screen to reassure myself that he is actually studying...
Me: "Cool!"
