Hi Mom!! 

Your Mom is watching, you know. 

Come on...admit it. You know she is AND you are concerned about it. Or maybe you should be. You probably at least think about it from time to time. 

Many have talked about being careful about what you put out there in the Internet world, since you never know who might see it. Mom, for example. 

Mom, for some of us, is part of the Angel/Devil duo on our shoulders...our conscience, our inner voice...watching our every move and whispering in our ear when we go astray. Some pay attention. Some don't, but should. 

It's interesting how many have used good ol' Mom as the barometer of what is appropriate and what is not in the blogosphere. 

Don't write anything you wouldn't want your Mom to read, or share any photos that Mom shouldn't see

What would your Mom say if she saw or heard this? 

The reality, in this day and age, is that Mom really might be reading what you are saying on-line. As might her friends, and others close to you who might pass judgment on what you are doing, saying, or sharing.

There are, of course things we would NOT want these folks to see or hear. Do we share them anyway? Some do. And others decide that the risk is too great. 

It's probably a good barometer of right and wrong. Or at least questionable. 

My hunch is that for most of us this notion has at least crossed our minds. We might not pay attention, or think much about it, but it's there. Come on, admit it. You HAVE thought about it at least a teeny bit. 

Mom also, perhaps unconsciously, plays a role in our relationships with others, including who we might decide to refer to or not. 

Didn't Mom often have something to say about who we associated with when we were younger?

And who we dated?

And who we lived with or got married to or had a relationship with?

And isn't Mom, for many, the standard by which we consciously or subconsciously, make certain decisions?

 What would Mom think?

I suspect that Mom is often in the background...lurking, passing judgment, acting as a standard by which we choose to abide, or try to exceed. Indeed, many have said that if their Mom was house hunting so-and-so would be their choice of agent. 

I would consider that the supreme form of flattery. How about you? 

Or maybe it's Dad.
