Dear Universe,
We’re out on a date for the night and our kids are home alone. Here’s our address and a map to our house.
Sincerely,
Mom and Dad
That’s ridiculous. No parent would ever say that.
I would never say that.
Except we do it all the time. Sure, we don’t do it intentionally, but the fingerprints we leave on social media do indeed tell the world where we are, what we are doing, how long we’ll be doing it, and how to find the people we care about.
