She has been studying diligently to prepare so I was surprised over the weekend to find her on Facebook when she had said she was studying.
She assured me that despite appearances to the contrary this actually was studying for the exam because she and her college friend were debating a certain political question from the last few decades so that was history.
I am firmly of the opinion that if it happened in my lifetime it isn't really history.
I am also firmly of the opinion that if it happens on Facebook it can't really be studying.
I picked Oldest Girl up from school after the exam.
"Guess what?" she said triumphantly. "Remember that issue I was discussing on Facebook with College Friend? That was totally one of the essay questions on the test."
I hate it when she is so right and I am so wrong.
It happens with alarmingly increasing frequency.
Oldest Guy gave me the same story with a YouTube video--he watched several apparently and then told me the one particular one that I caught him watching and questioned his activity was actually the one that he wrote an essay about. Can they be right without us being totally wrong???
