Gchat Conversations With Frank Rosenthal...

Dad: Are you going to visit W. Lafayette any time soon? I guess it's not as exciting without us there.
Me: haha a little cocky dad
Dad: Do you know everyone says Hei, here. It means hi.
Me: I didn't know that
Dad: And Hei Hei means goodbye. Do you think that means that people in the US will soon be signing their messages with Hey Hey?
Me: I don't know dad
Dad: Well I go to get back to work.
Me: dad I want you to know you're my favorite person to gchat with
Dad: Well at least I am the most recent person you have g-chatted with. I am going to try and get set up with Skype here so we can really chat and with everybody. Wow.
Me: wow?
Dad: Yeah wow? Isn't that an acceptable cyberword?

Ward: Oh no problem. I do it out of the kindness of my heart.
Me: Thank you.
Ward: Actually, I'm just tired of sending you the notes. This is easier.
