Slowly over the last few years, the generation preceding me has joined the world of social media. I should have seen it coming, but just today realized what's going on....I'm being stalked.
Here's a list of just a few family members on Facebook who rarely post but always seem to know what is going on in their children, grandchildren, niece, nephew's lives:
Mom
Step-Mom
Aunt (times 3)
Uncle ( times 3)
...and Granddaddy (who I suspect to be the biggest stalker of all).
If you think about it, you are probably being stalked too. How many relatives do you have out there who are always ON Facebook but never actually DOING anything on Facebook.
Both my Dad and Step-Dad have refrained from joining the social media world. My hat is off to the both of them. Dale is oddly silent about it (which ALWAYS leads me to believe there's something up his sleeve). Dad on the other hand has much to say about the wonderful world of Facebook. I believe the direct quote would be "If I wanted the world to know my business I would tell them myself."
Sometimes I wonder why the FB stalkers out there don't say more, and just occasionally I'm tempted to force talk (although Granddaddy can't be forced...he just ignores).
So...next time you see that your Mom, Dad, Grandma or Great Uncle twice removed is on Facebook remember...you may be being stalked!
