I’m just not made for Facebook, people. I hadn’t visited my Facebook page for months, finally checked it out today, and discovered a series of status updates from a friend:
“On the way to the airport. Feeling devastated.”
“At the airport. Everything comes to an end. That’s the nature of human existence, I guess.”
“On the airplane with a heavy heart.”
“Back home. Let the grieving begin.”
This friend has elderly parents and a brother in a war zone. Obviously, I immediately thought somebody had died and she was grieving the loss. I was about to start expressing my deepest condolences when I saw another status update:
“Vacations are over. Oh well.”
My literal mind just can’t deal.
