The Price of Fame

Get my son off your weblog!

I'm not sure why you say I wrote about your son on my weblog.

Do you know what a weblog is?

Yes, it's a reverse chronological listing of posts.

Where did you hear that I wrote about him?

It was on Entertainment Tonight.

Wow. First Time Magazine and now Entertainment tonight.

We're going to get our lawyer and sue you.

Hang on, I should be able to find the reference easily with the search feature on my blog.

What's your son's name?

What did I write about him?

Well, they saidd that he was on a web shopping list.

A web shopping list?

What is that?

What exactly did they say on Entertainment Tonight?

Umm.

What did they say?

I'm not sure.

Now you're not sure.

You run in here all confrontational about suing me and now you are not sure what they said on Entertainment Tonight?

Did they mention my weblog?

Yes they did.

And what exactly did they say about your son?

Well something about his shopping list being on the web, and you must have put it there.

Did they mention an Amazon wish list?

Yes! That's it!

Oh.

I suggest you go ask you son if he can show you his Amazon Wish list.

And while you are at Amazon.com, I suggest that you pick up a copy of Steven Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and read the chapter about Seeking First to Understand.

Some dreams seem so real.
