Virus Coding

So I'm logged into my Gmail account the other night, then this window pops up that looks like a virus, saying all sorts of weird things. I yell 'I have a virus!' When it said 'erasing your hard drive', I decided to re-boot the laptop and run a McAfee Scan to check for viruses. L says, 'don't do that, the virus can't be in your computer, it's on Gmail', but I ignore her.

A bit later on, K deliberately logs into his Gmail account, and the same messages start popping up. This time he decides to wait and see what else it says. Once again it started saying 'erasing hard drive'. I got really scared when it said 'virus coding'. Then I notice L is on her laptop chuckling away, and K starts laughing. The joke's on me! 'Mom, didn't you notice it was a Gmail chat window, it says that very clearly on top!' 'Mean' kids thinking they are very funny! We had a good laugh about the entire incident.

  8. SoccerMom and Rene, I didn't think of punishing them, I was more relieved that we didn't have a virus.

    Cathy, I had to google 'soldiers'. We love dipping toast into eggs over-easy.

    LadyCat and Japra, never a dull moment!
