In today’s digital age, parents face a myriad of challenges with their kids’ internet access, including the potential for risky photo exchanges. It can be enough to make anyone want to hide their children away from smartphones forever! But thankfully, some teens demonstrate commendable judgment in their interactions online. Take, for instance, a young lady who responded to a rather inappropriate request for a “shower selfie” in the most amusing way.
According to BuzzFeed, 16-year-old Mia Thompson found herself in the shower when a boy from her school texted her unexpectedly. Little did she know he had her number, and he felt bold enough to ask for a glimpse of her in the shower. “He asked me what I was doing, and when I told him I was in the shower, he asked to see,” she recalled, cringing at the thought.
While that scenario might send any parent into a panic, Mia took it in stride with a fantastic sense of humor. She decided to show him something far more entertaining rather than succumb to his request. Instead of a revealing photo, she snapped a goofy pic of herself wearing an umbrella hat—a far more fitting response than the boy deserved! “I was just $3 short of a $20 purchase on Amazon Prime, and I stumbled upon this hilarious umbrella hat, so I got it,” Mia explained. Who knew being short on cash could lead to such a legendary moment?
After sharing her texts and the photo on Twitter, Mia’s post went viral, inspiring others to join in with their own umbrella hat selfies. It’s a heartening reminder for parents navigating the often daunting teenage years. My daughter is just a few years away from being a full-fledged tween, and while she’s already expressed interest in having a phone, I can only hope that my partner and I have instilled enough wisdom in her to handle similar situations with finesse, just like Mia did.
As for the boy who requested the nude, he hasn’t dared to respond since Mia’s epic comeback. “He hasn’t replied to me to this day,” she remarked. And that’s just fine by us!
