Status Update
Tina hated the outdoors. But there she was, Saturday morning—hiking with mom.
“You’re on the phone too much. You need to experience the outdoors,” her mother said.
Just then, Tina’s friend texted: Don’t forget to update your status, nature girl. LOL.
Pouting, Tina logged onto Twitter and tweeted: ‘Urban girl meets nature.’
Instantly, 5 likes. Tina smiled.
“Mom, where’s the bathroom?”
“Privy is over there.”
Inside, Tina looked around, tweeting: ‘First time in a Porta Potty.’ 7 likes. She smiled again.
‘So nasty, so gross—'
Plop.
Tina paused momentarily. Then carefully navigated her finger into the fetid blue liquid.
Tweet.
