Corwin had another milestone last weekend. He sent his first e-mail message (to Grandma). Grandma brought him some Mad Libs for Easter. Corwin found them quite interesting and insisted on sending one of his efforts to Grandma, so I set up an e-mail account for him and off it went. Grandma replied, completing a big step for Corwin in to our modern age.
When Keith was introduced to email, he started exchanging email with a good buddy of his. Within a week, the email messages between the two boys had denigrated to chimp style keyboard pounding with maybe an occasional “FART” typed in there. Shortly thereafter, with apparently nothing else of substance to say, the email exchange dried up.
As far as I can tell, that’s a normal progression for non-electronic conversations as well.
