Asking My Granddaughter About Her Major in College

I do not have a smidgeon of an idea
Speaker is my teenage granddaughter Rhea
I thought you were a senior in college, I say.
She nods her head, agreeing straight away.

Don’t you have to declare a major before senior year?
If I knew you would hound me, I would not have come here.
Seriously, Rhea, what is your major? I ask, trying to sound kind.
“I think I will be queen of the internet; I have that sort of mind.”

Caren, she told you her major.... she's a surfer, but not of waves. lol My grandchildren are too young for high school, although the eldest is 10 and conversations with him feels like I'm talking with an adult.
