Maybe one in a series... but this subject popped in my head earlier today, when Blogger Toddler threw a mini-tantrum when I wouldn't let him play with my MacBook.
"But daddy," said the three-year-old. "I NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL!"
Of course, he doesn't know what e-mail is. But he knows that "checking your e-mail," along with "blogging," is something you do on a computer.
"Evan, you're three," I tell him. "Who's sending you e-mail?"
"Pooba Hobba," he says, invoking one of those made-up names he deploys when he can't think of a real name on the spot.
"If Pooba Hobba needs to get ahold of you immediately, he'll call," I say. (I'm taking a wild stab that 'Pooba Hobba' is a guy.)
