Making an IM Date

Lucky me, I was able to set up an IM date with my niece. (Preschoolers don't get all the fun with play dates.) She was able to guide me through "my very first time". No, no IM experience here. Although it was fun "chatting" with her, and to be fair I can see the appeal, it's just not my "communication of choice". My niece did pass on the sage advise, "If you really want to relate to 20-somethings, check out the online Urban Dictionary".
