Fasting

"What are you giving up?" asked a group of seventh graders. 

"Social media." I replied. 

Dead silence, then a long "ohhhhh".

What I didn't explain to them was that I have an exception.  I need to go to Twitter once a day to post my slice of life challenge.  Nothing more, no scrolling, no searching, no checking, no liking, no retweeting, no comments. 

In the meantime, after the "ohhhhh", they nodded their heads, considering if they too can fast from social media. 

Seed planted.
