Yikes...I feel out of touch. No teens in this household. What the heck is AIM?...or do I want to know?

AIM is an instant messaging chat thing. We gave it to her yesterday with great trepidation and stern warnings as to its use. First hint that she's chatting with strangers or going into inappropriate chat rooms, and we pull the plug.

We're giving her a chance, but I have a feeling it won't last. At least it keeps her out of her dad's hair during the day while he's trying to study his airplane systems.
