Ask Clem: Too much Facebook?
Dear Clem,
I feel that my children are using Facebook a little too much. Can you give me any advice?
Frustrated,

Dear Nina,
I don’t know, what is so damn interesting about the Facebook? Whenever the Grandkids come over, it’s all they seem to want to do is go on there and type to those fake people on the screen. You got your real live Grandpa right here, ain’t that good enough for you? We’re in the middle of dinner and my 14-year-old granddaughter pulls out her phone. That’s another thing, what kind of world are we living in where a 14-year-old is important enough to have a phone? I told Ethyl we went wrong somewhere, kids had it too easy or something. You know what I did when I was 14? I worked 16 hours a day on the farm, and then if I had done everything, and I could still physically walk, I went and knocked on my friend’s door. We didn’t have telephones and internets, and facebooks, we had real face to face conversations.
