Maddy’s epiphany May 1, 2009

What?  Two posts in one day?  Yes…that’s how I roll.  I don’t always have time to post, so I have to do it all when I can!  It’s a slow Friday around here, and there’s rain going on outside, so I might as well!

So here’s the story, as told by my dear husband Eric: 

 

Eric was on the computer last night and he was typing away, rapidly writing emails to potential camper parents and former camper parents.  He was trying to drum up business!  Go Eric! 

It was late and Maddy (our 8 year old) was tired.  Her little head drooping and eyes getting sleepy as she leaned on him and watched him type.  All of a sudden, as she was watching him, she must have realized that

1) he wasn’t looking at the keys while he typed, and

2) he was typing really fast. 

Her eyes get as big as saucers and she says “HOW are you doing that?”  Eric: “Doing what?”  Maddy: “Typing like that.  You are going so fast, and you AREN”T LOOKING AT THE KEYS!”  “And the keys aren’t even in ORDER…not A, B, C…it’s like “Q, W, E” “How do you do that Dad?”  Eric laughs and says “I’ve been typing a long time.  Someday when you are my age you’ll be able to do this too.”  Maddy says “but I don’t even use the computer now!”  Eric says “Well, when I was your age we didn’t even HAVE computers!”

 

Ahhh, now doesn’t that make you feel…old?
