wat u up tew? (part tew)

I figured after my conversation a few days ago with little Chelsea, she would have approached the real Matt and discovered she had been talking to an impostor. However, she started IMing me again two nights ago, meaning she still did not know the truth:

Chels1212 (11:01:27 PM): Heyy ryan (11:01:46 PM): wat u up tew Chels1212 (11:02:16 PM): nuthing tew much ryan (11:02:28 PM): kool Chels1212 (11:02:39 PM): wha about u ryan (11:03:39 PM): practicing soccer Chels1212 (11:04:55 PM): while on the comp/ ryan (11:05:00 PM): yah ryan (11:05:19 PM): i can type and kick at the same time Chels1212 (11:05:44 PM): lol Chels1212 (11:05:47 PM): funny ryan (11:06:05 PM): ow ryan (11:06:12 PM): i just kicked the computer Chels1212 (11:07:46 PM): lol ryan (11:08:10 PM): wat is lol? does that mean little orange lions? Chels1212 (11:08:41 PM): laugh out loud. Chels1212 (11:08:41 PM): duh ryan (11:09:24 PM): LOL! Chels1212 (11:09:39 PM): haha. ryan (11:09:59 PM): LMFAO!

Chels1212 (11:18:32 PM): sure i love to dance its hecka fun. ryan (11:19:14 PM): *dancing* ryan (11:19:33 PM): i wish i was pretty ryan (11:19:44 PM): i would be the prettiest dancer Chels1212 (11:19:50 PM): you are b e a utiful Chels1212 (11:19:57 PM): am i a pretty dancer ryan (11:20:04 PM): i've never seen you dance Chels1212 (11:20:08 PM): lol Chels1212 (11:20:16 PM): thats cuz i really dont dance lol

At this point, I was once again getting bored with the conversation. Since I was reading cnn.com at the time, I thought it would be fun to throw in some news headlines.

ryan (11:21:07 PM): hurricane response spotlights political patronage Chels1212 (11:21:20 PM): sayy whaa ' ryan (11:21:37 PM): international coke ring allegedly run from U.S. prison Chels1212 (11:22:04 PM): ohkayy ryan (11:22:18 PM): defiant delay blasts prosecutors Chels1212 (11:22:34 PM): sure ryan (11:22:54 PM): ground zero 'freedom center' quashed Chels1212 (11:23:11 PM): ohkay i filppen get it Chels1212 (11:23:26 PM): yeaa ryan (11:23:54 PM): Kid's food pyramid launched! ryan (11:24:13 PM): Scientists photograph giant squid. Chels1212 (11:24:15 PM): sounds like fun

Now it was time to partake in some 8th grade gossip. Hmmm, what do 8th graders gossip about? Let's pick a generic name, event, and class...

ryan (11:25:24 PM): wanna know a secret? Chels1212 (11:25:39 PM): sure ryan (11:26:01 PM): john likes a girl in gym class Chels1212 (11:26:09 PM): awsom Chels1212 (11:26:52 PM): and i like somone in our school lol

Uh oh. I sensed an inpending confession of love from one 8th grader to another, ( actually, to a person pretending to be an 8th grader). I decided to change the subject.

ryan (11:32:23 PM): so how was 8th grade today? Chels1212 (11:32:47 PM): awsome and your 8th grade dayy ryan (11:33:11 PM): actually, i'm not really in 8th grade Chels1212 (11:33:37 PM): ohkay Chels1212 (11:33:39 PM): well gtg Chels1212 signed off at 11:33:40 PM.

Judging by the abrupt signoff, I think she now knows the truth. Hopefully, in the future, she will know better than to randomly IM people without confirming their identity beforehand. She's learned an important life lesson, and I'm glad I could be a part of that.

Helping others is what I do best.
