This is something the parents here will find funny.
My 3 1/2 year old son, Duncan, is quite possible the smartest kid in the world. Heres why:
I bought my wife a nice brand new laptop so she could do work anywhere she wanted (im not allowed to touch it). Anyways, my son, who like any one else in this world, saw the shiny new computer and said “Can I have that?”. The obvious answer was no.
Anyways, my wife told me about his latest adventures today. While my wife was finishing dinner and feeding out daughter (Katen, 9 months old) my son toddled off to play quietly.
When my wife was finshed she went to check on Duncan to see what he was up too. To her dismay, Duncan was in the bathroom. He was holding a bottle of baby powder which he sprayed all over the bathroom. Typical 3 year old stuff, right?
My wife then went and checked her computer which was running. She opened her laptop and, instead of the little flower icon on her XP machine, a soccer ball was there with the words “Six programs running”. Uh-oh.
When she logged in, she found that Duncan, with one hand (the other was holding the baby powder) had run a few things. Not only did he change her icon to the soccerball, he had also started the DVD player, initiated a virus scanner, started Word (he was actually typing a document for some reason), tried to use Skype (to call dad at work), iTunes, and win media player.
How he was able to do all of this and my wife have no clue. I know Windows was easy to use but this is a little extreme.
Any one else who has children experience anything similar?
