There's an app for that.

I'm at ARISIA. Volunteering in the staff lounge. We got the TV turned on to the internal channel that is a live feed from the Masquerade down in the ballroom. The audience is filing in, and we see someone's daughter pacing back and forth on the television. Mom pulls out her phone and text messages her daughter something snarky and momish. We see the girl on TV stop, pull out her phone, read the message, and start looking around for her mom.
This brings forth general laughter up in the staff lounge. Mom sends another text. I see you. Daughter reads this, and looks around more for mom. Mom and friends upstairs find this amusing. Daughter sends a text back. How can you see me. Mom sends back. Mom knows everything.
Daughter looks around and around, and still can't see mom, since TV camera doesn't work in reverse. Parental torments via I-phone. There's and app for that.

I'm so sorry we never got to meet up at the con. I did check email while there, but not LJ.

haha, good to put paranoia in them, if they think mom is always watching they'll be sure to behave ;)

Sorry I missed seeing you at the con also. Probably just as well. I was (am) kinda tired and cranky the whole weekend. See you at Boskone in a couple of weeks.


Oh, by the way, they were recording the video, and hopefully it will be posted to youtube, and the mom has saved all the texts and was going to consider posting the whole thing to her LJ. *giggles*
