Caddickisms

When I returned from my vacation yesterday, my computer would not recover from hibernation mode (i.e., it wouldn’t turn on). I went into a local computer store today to ask a couple questions and my wife and kids stayed in the car. Apparently my wife was explaining to my 2-year old why I was in the store, because when I came out, my daughter asked if my “proputer” was broken. After I confirmed it was, she was quiet while my wife and I talked about the rest of the day.

Then, in a quiet moment, my daughter said seriously, “Do you have some tape?” I was completely puzzled by that apparent non-sequitor, but my wife clarified that she meant tape to fix my computer, like we would use to fix one of her toys! When we said that was a good idea, but this couldn’t be fixed with tape, she said, “Oh,” and looked a little disappointed.

She put a smile on my face while I was getting more depressed about the state of my primary computer.

I love my kids (and I wish this problem was fixed so easily).
