The Tweeter

I have a human twitter account. The name is Katie and she tweets everything we do from an open window in the living room or from the curb of our sidewalk. If you want my status update, just pass by my house and you can have all the info you need.  Her latest tweet from the living room window was to our neighbor: "Hi! I'm coming outside right after my mom gets dressed.  She just got out of the shower!"  (9/4/11)

Circumventing the Rule

After the constant bickering escalated to name calling, I shouted, "Alright, now everyone stop it! There will be no more name calling in this house."  Danny immediately turned to his sister and said, "Katie, I need you to come outside with me a minute.  I have something to tell you."
