Let me start by saying ...
Hi, I am a Little Sister Grenade and MY MOM IS ON FACEBOOK!
Honestly ... it was my fault! She needed one though! Everyday I would show her people pictures and laugh with her about the statuses people put and not to mention let her in on the drama people went through on there. So it seemed logical!
I became a member on Facebook Junior year of High School. Didn't know many people on there because they were all in college. But I saw Facebook as away to express my frustrations about any and everything and to keep up with everyday lives of people I knew but rarely saw. Facebook soon started getting more popular and my friends list started to grow ... I had COMPLETE control over who saw it and what I said on it! That was until My Momma got a Facebook!
Momma Grenade having a Facebook is not bad now! In the beginning she would flip about some of the things I wrote and she just didn't understand that this is what you do on FB! You vent, boast, brag about friends, men, and things! There was no where else to do this and Myspace was too crowded with celebrities and porn stars to really get the attention you could only get on FB!
As time went on Facebook became more drama filled and the need for mothers on there was almost mandatory! The site had went from high school and college students to anyone being allowed a page and having Momma Grenade on FB started to come in hand when grown people were causing problems with things I'd said and I wouldn't say anything because I didn't want to disrespect them but within seconds my momma was there with a comment that shut the whole problem down.
I can admit that I used to be annoyed by some things and a lot of things I didn't think she understood! A lot of things I thought I missed out on saying and seeing because she wanted to control my friends list..., but I see her on Facebook now and I'm ok with what she puts, how she handles things, i'm back to saying what I want and what I feel to who I want ... I'm ok and I think a lot of others need to get ok with their Moms being on FB ... Mine is and I have recovered from the initial shock, it's in remission! LOL
Well, Lil' Sis, I am glad to see you are now in remission, but I have yet to get to that point. I have contemplated numerous times deleting her, but I said to myself hey I will limit what I do and say and maybe, just maybe, it will work out. Yeah right that was until our grandmother and great aunts were encouraged to joined and that is when I said hell no someone has to go; and that someone was me...lol.
I joined FB back in January 2005 and it was a place, and as my lil' sis stated earlier, for college students and later began to spread its wings to others. You know I was fine with that and accepted all of the unnecessary nonsense that came with it. I was not prepared to share the site with my mom, but I definitely do not think FB was prepared for mother Grenade. If you don't know, you better ask somebody.

I get most of my laughs on facebook from the "grown folks". Some of my friends have blasted their children on FB for the comments they make; but the next thing they do is get into a "Facebook Fight" of words with another "grown up"....FB for some its like the older lady in the club trying to compete with the 21 year old in the "stanky leg" contest...SMH Just wrong:-)
....i thought I was on FB for a minute...Thickcurlgurl I agree
