Emailing

Since Davin has been out of town he and Alea have been emailing each other. Last night Alea sent him an email before bed from her Nexus. A few minutes later she came into my room very concerned. She said she wanted to read something to me. She said she had emailed her daddy and that someone else she didn't know had emailed her back. She wanted to read me the email. In her most freaked out voice she read this email, "I am out of the office all week. If you need assistance please contact Dean @ ____." I smiled and told her this was an out of office reply from her daddy and explained to her what that meant. She was relieved. She told me she was going to write back and say, "Who is this!!" but then she remembered Mrs. Emerson had told her if someone you don't know emails you that you should never email them back and that you should tell an adult so that is what she did.

I was so proud of her for talking to me about this and for not responding to a "stranger" on line. (I also thought it was pretty funny and cute.)
