on Facebook Friending
Me:
Oh, she's our aunt. Okay, accept.
Me:
And then put her in the relatives list.
Sam:
They know though.
Sam:
They get like, an alert when you put them on a list.
Me:
Really?
Sam:
Yeah.
Sam:
(sees the long list of unaccepted friend requests on my facebook homepage) Oh my god. Why are you rejecting all those people?
Me:
I'm not rejecting them!
Me:
I'm just...not adding them.
Sam:
I feel bad for them.
Me:
I don't add people I don't know? Even if we have mutual friends.
Sam:
I once did that.
Sam:
I thought it was someone from Michelle's year, but it turned out she was this crazy girl who was just adding everyone in school so she'd have a thousand friends.
Me:
...although most of these I actually know.
Sam:
(looks at me)
Me:
... I don't add people I don't like.

Dear Photograph,
After all the years gone by you’ve shown me that cousins really are your first best friends!
