   Alex: So Maria, do your parents use any of the social media sites.


 
  Maria: They do. Both my parents are on Facebook. My mum is not that active on Facebook. She has a profile 1 and she has pictures and I think she's online whenever she wants to get in touch with her kids mostly, which is me and my sister. But my father he uses it regularly and I sometimes get weird 2 like comments from him. It's not that bad, but, for example, when I'm traveling and he can't call me, he just writes like that looks awesome 3 to weird pictures and it kind of gets awkward 4 sometimes. But they do have, they are very active on the internet and my dad he's a journalist, so he's good with words, so whenever we have to write each other, I always get these long mails like that's very cleverly worded and humorous and it's so cool. He's so cool. My mum is more behind.
 
  Alex: What about Skype?
 
  Maria: Skype yes but mostly only to get in touch with me and my sister.
 
  Alex: OK, cool. What about like do they ever have MySpace?
 
  Maria: No, none of us have.
 
  Alex: No, it's a word I haven't heard in a while too, MySpace?
 
  Maria: Yeah.
 
  Alex: What about Twitter?
 
  Maria: I'm not active. My father keeps talking about it. I don't know if he wants to start a Twitter account because he keeps mentioning that it's kind of a good idea but he's not there. I'm not because I think I have Facebook that should be enough for me at least. I don't know if, they are not into social media so they will just like open it for fun. Google Plus is definitely 5 not a solution at the moment because there is Facebook and that's like a big deal in the first place.
 
  Alex: Have you ever wanted to de-friend your parents on Facebook?
 
  Maria: Nope. I am very open about my Facebook profile. I never wanted to close it to anybody so I try not to, I'm trying to make sure that there won't be anything embarrassing 6 on it so I manage it so there won't be any need for like de-friending them and they're not that annoying. They text me sometimes and they comment my things if it's something important but they're being nice. They're good parents.
