Last night in our Family Night my husband told the kids he'd signed up for Twitter but had yet to send his first tweet! Our youngest said, "Twits? I've read about them!"
He and another brother had to explain to us who "Twits" are.
The Twits is a humorous children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. It was written in 1979, and first published in 1980.
Mr. and Mrs. Twit are two ugly, smelly, nasty, stupid people who spend their lives playing nasty tricks on each other.
And we explained to them what "tweets" are.
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.
So the moral of this is ~ you guessed it ~ Send a tweet not a twit! Gosh say twit or tweet 3 times quickly and you'll be ready for Halloween.
