Bonding Over IM

Last night KT and I were sitting companionably together in the front room.  She was sitting at the computer finishing up her homework while I was in the armchair near her playing working on my laptop.   It was getting late and I gently suggested that she should think about heading to bed.  She merely glared at me.  A moment later, I noticed that I had an Instant Message.  It was from KT and petulantly said
