Starting young

This evening, I received one of those very nasty chain letters (emails) from my ten-year-old granddaughter. Frightening, isn't it (but not in her sense)? Apparently the girl who sent it to her is terrified. My daughter now knows, and is speaking to the school about it, but I am just so grateful that my children were brought up pre-internet!

> TODAY, when you receive this mail...> You will be facing the decision of your LIFE...> You must take this seriously!> I never send mails like this!> But I really don't want to mess up your life!IF YOU SEND THIS TO LESS THAN 5 PEOPLE!!!> Tonight... You will see the most horrifying thing...EVER!!!> And you will have bad luck for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!> Send this to 10 people...> And your crush will SLAP YOU ON THE FACE...> Send this to 20 people and...> Your mum will give you the gift you wanted all the time...> IF you send this to everyone on your list...> Your wishes will come true and your crush will kiss you...> BUT! You only have 3 hours to do so!> So quick, pass this on...

(PS I haven't sent it on to anyone, so if this is my last post, you will know why. Aaaaaargh!)
