Internet Age

Tonight my four year old son asked me if he could go to "www.com, Alvin and the Chipmunks." I stopped dead in my tracks. First of all, HE'S FOUR!! Secondly, HE'S FOUR!! Finally, did he just say www? I imagine it was inevitable. He's familiar with the computer, very techno-savy like his father, but I am not sure I was ready for the langauge that accompanies being technically inclined. You feel me? While I took some time to let his maturity level and my ignorance (and utter denial) to his maturity level sink in, he asked me about www.com, Alvin and the Chipmunks, all night. I just don't think I'm ready for the Internet and this 4 year old child. What will it be next? My space? Facebook? Like the kids say, OMG!
