What’s your virtual voice?

I was ‘talking’ to Bumbling Along the other night when she said this.  It sparked something in me, made me start thinking about the voices we attach to our virtual friends and what cues we use to form these decisions.

The Present Drawer

It’s birthday party season again in the Battling On household.  Every weekend involves at least one wunderkind attending someone’s party somewhere in the county,  and boy have I been clocking up the miles dropping off and picking up.  Every party
