Man Gives up Social Media for Lent Realizes he has Wife and Children

BABBLERS PRESS - Without really thinking about what he was doing, one local man decided to give up social media for the entire 40 days of lent. Just a few hours after beginning his "social media fast" the man started noticing people in his house, including a woman and some kids. As it turns out the people in his house were his wife and children.

"I just hadn't noticed them before," said the man, who normally spends the majority of his time online. "The wife and I were married several years ago and the kids are all mine. It was nice just getting to know them after all these years." 

​The children were also delighted to realize the man in the house with his head in the screen day and night was actually their father. "We thought it was him," said the oldest boy. "But we couldn't be sure. We thought perhaps he was in some sort of coma or something." 

The wife was equally delighted to discover that the man in the house was her husband. "Maybe now I can actually get some help around here," she said. However, the wife's hopes may be in vain since the man has already declared his intention to return to social media as soon as lent is over "if not sooner." ​
