Glen, the Computer Whiz
I have this little person in my house who comes to me with the funniest remarks. As a result, I am creating a new Category called "Out of the Mouths of Babes" since my babes say the darnedest things.
An 8-year-old computer addicted future techno geek whiz kid who wanted his password so that he could sit for hours glued to a computer screen and changing the background images and reformatting the disk.
Glen: "Mom, can you type in my password, please?" (Yes, he said "Please" - we do teach manners around here)
Me: "In just a minute sweetie" (Yes, I call him sweetie, because he is a sweetie - most of the time)
Glen walks back to the kitchen and the computer and spends the next 5 minutes fumbling with buttons.
Glen: "Mom, I am sure I know my password."
Me: "Oh really? Then what is it?"
Glen: "Thumbsucker"
Me: (laughing) "Thumbsucker? Why do you think it is that?"
Glen: "Because my hint says that it is what I've been called since a baby."
Me: (smirking) "Oh my! Aren't you clever. Nope, not it, but if you keep messin' with that computer, I am sure you'll figure it out."
Glen looks at me glumly and walks backs to the computer - waiting patiently, sucking his thumb, and trying to figure out what his password is.
To no avail.
But I arrive to save the day and I typed in his password so that he could spend 2 glorious parental-controlled hours on the computer.
Oh, the things my chillins say just to tickle my fancy.
