It appears this is a trend for teen boys. Almost a week after the mailing (and after much hounding by his mother), my son finally sent the roommate a message on Facebook. When I told my son that I “googled” his roommate, he almost freeked out. Well, you weren’t telling him anything about him. It appears the roommate is even more “laid back” then my son. He isn’t even sure what day he moves in….this will be interesting…..
