The temptation was almost too much. Uber son had posted on Facebook his plans to take a trip–to be specific, to take himself and his family to Colonial WIlliamsburg, a destination that lies well beyond his home in the Northeast and just a little beyond ours in the Mid Atlantic.
He was asking his FB friends and acquaintances for travel tips–where to eat, where to stay in Williamsburg. Paterfamilias was ready to join in. "I was going to say, 'Hey, there's free room and board at your old homestead–and the food's good, too.' Then I thought better of it."
Good for you PF. Second-thinking is just the ticket. What could be worse than horning in on a social media site read by a grownchild's friends and business acquaintances with a less-than-helpful remark–and one that borders on inducing guilt.If we've got something to say, email, phone calls or a quick text is the preferred method–unless the FB account is for family only. Then no holds are barred. Even for us.
