Yelin (13 years, Slovenia) texts Omega (13 years, Mexico)

Y: Hey girl, you won’t believe what I found today? 🤓

O: 🙄

Y: I found mum’s childhood pics…with a lot of people… 🤶🥇🚪

O: “Who were not family? Coz family’s allowed…”

Y: “No, definitely not family.”

O: “😱 What was her excuse?”

Y: “She said it was from her ‘School’, a place where she went to learn new things along with nearly 500 others! 🤓”

O: Liar! 🤥

Y: No! She showed me old pictures of this ‘School’ on internet. It does exist. 🙂

O: Was it open air? Cave-man style? 🙉🙊🙈

Y: Proper buildings. There were rooms with enough desks to house fifty people at a time. 🏢

O: 50 kids in the same room? It is downright dangerous! Didn’t they know it spreads germs? 😨

Y: She said it was before the germs took over our lives. Her friends played with her in places called parks. And she went on ‘real dates’– 🚗 long drive, dancing💃🕺 in disco and 🍷🍸🍹 drinking together in pubs…

O: Yuk! So much exposure! Seriously! She must be reading too much fantasy to come up with stories like that.
