The girls and I had a YM conversation tonight. bluesox4113 is me and rfijr is the home computer, with Fiona typing:
bluesox4113: I'm glad I caught you before you went to bed
bluesox4113: how did today go?
[Fiona makes her monkey face for the camera]
bluesox4113: HAHAHAHA
rfijr: today was bad
bluesox4113: oh dear. What happened?
rfijr: I slipped on ice and banged up my knee, and then in the afternoon I got majorly depressed and felt like I was going to fly to pieces [displays wounded shin for the camera]
bluesox4113: ohhhhhh, honey! That looks painful!
rfijr: it is
bluesox4113: Was it on ice on our property? Or where did you fall?
rfijr: when I was going to my bus in the afternoon
bluesox4113: I'm so sorry, honey
rfijr: and then it was bleeding all over
bluesox4113: kiss to make it better . . . [uses kissy emoticon]
rfijr: and then later in the afternoon delia closed her index finger in the door...
