#1 – Forget having nice stuff
It may seem worthwhile to have an HD-TV… but the picture doesn’t really look that good when the screen is perpetually covered with grimy little hand prints.
And that sleek universal remote you’ve got that controls your entire home theater? It doesn’t work as well when a little monster chews the buttons until half of them don’t work.
As for your cutting edge laptop with a high-res 14.1″ display… well it doesn’t look nearly as cool when its covered with snot and caked-on bits of Cheerios…
Wait until he is eight and takes that new laptop (or whatever device is new then) apart just to see how it works. It is upsetting even if he assures you that he knows exactly where every piece goes.
Yay, I bet my Jon can’t wait til all his stuuf is covered with boogers and hand prints!
Ha, ha, mom. I hate to break it to you, but I still haven’t figured out how to put things back together reliably! I always have a mysterious “extra” screw…
