Want to keep up with the kids? Read their blog – and then leave a comment.

That’s what some parents are doing, as well as using IM and other technologies, in an attempt to better communicate with them.

Writes USA Today: “When Paula Kramer of Santa Rosa, Calif., wants her 14-year-old daughter to come downstairs for dinner, ‘rather than coming out of the office and screaming, I will IM her,’ she says.” Hmmm…

Bottom line: If Mom is better at l33tspeak than you, it’s time to get worried.
