That Time My Kid Googled 'Kissing' On His School Computer

Not long ago, CJ Kelsey faced a very modern parenting quandary: the alarming Google search. She was reviewing her son’s Internet activity on his school Chromebook when she stumbled across a search for “kissing” and did not like what she saw. “Mind you, they were fairly innocent. But somehow the young teen Spiderman and Gwen Stacey reenactors having a PG-13 kiss in Spiderman’s bedroom was too much for me to envision my little baby boy looking at. I began to panic.”

The piece is hilarious, relatable, and terrifying all at once — don’t miss it.
