"Get off m' damn computer nerd child!"
"Oooo Kaay Evil Da, just let me finish"
"I gave you five minutes warning, ten minutes ago, now get off!"
"Ok Ok Ok, I'm saying goodbye now, don't rush me"
"Christ! How many conversations do you have going?"
"Uh Uh, no looooking, p-r-i-v-a-t-e, reemember?"
"Yeah but do you know all these people, or cyborgs, whatever it is you're communicating with?"
"Sortof"
"Whaddayamean sortof?"
"Well this person's from Holland, a friend of Evie who I stayed with in Paris.... she, or he, actually it's a she, judging by their photo, popped up just then and said that Evie had told her all about me."
"Ok so how do you know it's female - anyone could put a picture on their profile"
"Dad! Evie is in the photo with her so I know it's her!"
"Ok, but your using my computer, I assume your Net-time ran out already today?"
"Hmmm, maaaybeee!"
"More like yeessbeee?... now buzz off and finish your homework before I get real mean and block all the computers from chat programs."
"You are pure evil! All my other friends are always online chatting, their Dad's don't block their internet."
"Their Dad's wouldn't know how. They probably all think their little darlinks are working hard on their computemerers!"
"Yes, that's right, we are all workin hard! This is just a little relief now that I've finished most of my work!"
"Ah 'most' - means 'more yet to do' and it's 9 o'clock already so go an finish your work"
"Ok, Ok, but Evie has just come online, I haven't chatted to her since I was in Paris, can I just catch up for 5 minutes? Pleeeaase Daddy Darling?"
"5 minutes and then I'm pulling the plug Miss Chatalot."
