Like Mother, Like Daughter

My parents are both professionals, no strangers to technology, but it never occurred to them that this could happen to their daughter, in their house

I n elementary school I was a frequent visitor to the principal’s office. When she asked me why I was misbehaving I’d say things like “My mom is really horrible to me. I think she wants to kill me.”

“We don’t mix home and school Chedvah ” the principal would say crisply.

And then she’d call my mother to say that I had a problem with lying.

I wasn’t lying. But after a few of these incidents I learned an important lesson: Never confide in anyone because they won’t believe you anyway.
