Owing the popularity of facebook, my friend's 12yr old younger sister came to me with a request to create a facebook acc. Among my friends and my family, I am kinda famous as a facebook queen, so I was highly obliged to help her. So, I created an account, helped her to know the tricks of fb, showed her the funny pages etc. Happy ending, huh?? not yet....
As she became familiar with facebook, she started chatting with her new fb friends. She faced one problem. She didn't knew the short-forms that people used. As in, ttyl, lol and stuff lyk dat. So she used to call me and ask the full forms. Once she called me to know the full form of LOL. So i told her, it Laughing Out Loud. She was so fascinated with these full-forms that she used them in face-to-face conversations. She seemed to be happy with her knowledge of facebook, and so was I. I had that awesome feeling that you get when you spread some knowledge, so what if it's about facebook. She didn't called up for any query for a month. I thought she had learnt ev'rything from me and now she was on her own. After a month, she called up asking for a weird question. She asked me whats the full-form of WTF?? I gave it a thot for a second. If i didn't tell her the full-form, she may google it and find it out. Either way she had to know it. So I told her. WTF stand for what the fu*k. It is used to express dismay or shock. She thanked me and continued with her life.
Here's what really interesting thing happened....
One day, one of her most irritating and nerdy kind of a guy called her over to play a video game that his grandma gifted him. It was some game of battlefield where two players compete for a special shield that is used to protect themselves. She decided to checkout that game, so she accepted the invitation, went there and enjoyed it. After coming back, she looked pretty exhausted and excited as well. Her dad asked, "How was it?" She replied -"First I thot I'd be boring 'coz Max's had that nerd reputation in school. But, he turned out to be an animal when it came to "Games". All the time I was yelling, 'What A Fu*k Max!! You're amazing...' Seriously dad, where was he all these years..." Her dad was actually shocked after hearing this. Without listening to anything else, he went to that guy's house, where he with his parents were having a peaceful dinner. The only question that her dad asked him was, "did you use any kind of protection?" His parents were surprised thinking that the man was a maniac. Before they could throw him out of their house, their son replied, "Of course i did. First your daughter was yelling because I had it. But then, it's all about enjoying the game, isn't it??"
Parents fainted! and I was the one to be blamed for all this lunatic situation....
