So...hope u read my old story...lol that was a refreshing nostalgic past...atleast for me...
Hey, friends, have u ever tried being handicapped with a laptop...I have or rather I am one now...Thanks to my dear son...I dont think I would be typing anything interesting today...As I am Systematically Computingly handicapped....grrrr...Wants to know,what happened this time right???
B4 starting the story of my present condition ...let me giv u a brief explanation on how I got this Laptop...If I tell you that this laptop costed only something between 80-82US Dollars...would u believe that...Its true... I got this from my Hubby's office...They usually sell off their old Laptops and Desktops for such cheap prizes every 3-5 years...As the number of staffs looking forward for this is so high, that they do a lucky draw...and the lucky winners get the stuff on a cheap prize...and my hubby had his luck the last time and he brought this home...Thus, my plan to buy a new laptop was indefenitely postponed...hehe!!!
My son is still too small to read or write... But, when we get into our apartment's life, I used to teach him three things...To go to Ground level..press "G"...To reach Basement Parking "B" and to reach our floor..press 11...and a few days back, surprisingly, I saw him writing No. 11 on his Magic Board and showing me..."Mamma, Neven...(his Eleven...)"...To my surprise, I asked him how to write G and then B...He managed to draw smthing which looked nothing near B or G...
So, I wrote on the board letters A to J and asked him to show me...B and G...He showed G... But kept on showing other alphabets...instead of B...Stupid ME...I made fun of him...Telling him..."Hey, baby, shame shame,..u know nothing...U dont even know B..."...This was in the afternoon....
In the evening...suddenly I saw my son walking around with a black coin...He was surprisingly saying..."Mamma...B....B...."...I wondered wht was he trying to say..with a shock, I recognised the coin in his hand...It was the letter "B" from my poor little Laptop...He, with utmost hardwork and grace found Letter B from the Laptop...not only did he find it...He pulled it out without spoiling anything else and brought it for me...Maybe he wanted to show me...that he was Smart and knew everything...He knew what is B...and he proved it...BY HANDICAPPING MY POOR LAPTOP....
Now, from last three days, I was typing on this stuff with much difficulty whenever I had to type B...Now,today after work, when I came home...I had some urgent stuff to be taken care of....I switched on the Lappy Dear...and tried typing in a mail for a colleague...and guess what...The SPACE key wouldn't just budge...It was stuck...I literally tried Physical Abuse on the key...and still..it just looked back at me...As if he was saying...JUST SHOO OFF...grrr...I tried to find why it was so...then only I realised...The "Vacant Space of Letter B was no longer alone...He was accompanied by another Vacant Space..."...this time it was Letter N...grrrrrrrrrrr...Now, can imagine...I dont have a proper B, a proper N...instead I have a Stuck SPACE KEY....
Now, I didnt even know where was the N Key...Anyways, I decided to atleast try to rectify the issue of my SPACE key...My son was still having his afternoon nap...So, I couldn't ask for his talent to remove the key gracefully...finally I tried removing off the SPACE KEY myself...Maybe I was not as good as my son in that....I think I broke off the key...Now, what did I discover...My "N"...hehe!!,it was right there below the SPACE KEY,and thats y, the space key was Stuck...Now...I got my N.. but cmpltly destroyed my space...
Anyways...all said and done...Now..I have a keyboard which has no B..but a space where I need to scratch with my nails to type in B...An plastered on top of the space of N which works only if I literally bang on the key...and another vacant space wherein I have plastered the rubber nob of the SPACE key...All these three Keys wouldn't work unless I took all my energy to type thru them...
Literally, now, I am tired...sweating...for typing a post like this...But, still I haven't lost my enthusiasm in waiting for my son to wake up...so that I can teach him some extra points on Discipline and Ethics of using a Laptop...He would better be ready to get a GOOD PIECE OF MY MIND...for tampering this poor thing...grrr....
My poor little Laptop....and a poor ME...Can't I be rightly called

My poor little Laptop....and a poor ME...Can't I be rightly called
"The Hi-Tech Handicap..."
NB: Now, I really hope, my hubby would ignore the loss of his 82$...lol!!! "Else, my dear son, it's double trouble for u..."

The boy is very sharp and hyper active.The moral of the story is to keep the laptop high beyond his reach and to request hubby to enter every draw for old laptops!!
LoL! Hahaha your son sounds like a genius in the making. My younger brother use to do some similar things too especially when it came to the electronics like my computer, iPod, and cell phone.
