So, I've heard about the terrible twos and all, but we really didn't need the early preview. We've been gradually trusting the little monkey more and more with a variety of stuff. Probably, that was our first mistake (or more likely, one amongst many). So anyhow, we've pretty much made the computers off limits altogether except under close supervision by mum or dad, but for some reason we let our guard down today and admittedly the computer was sitting in a place that it probably shouldn't have been. Still, did the little monkey really need to pick the thing up and smash it forcibly towards the ground? We watched this unfortunate turn of events from across the room in a sort of nightmarish slow motion, unable to stop it in time. The effect of this action upon said laptop was pretty much inevitable, though no less painful for us to observe. Several distortions and multiple cracks now mar what was previously a blemish free and unobjectionable screen.
We've tried to replace a broken screen on a previous laptop we had and our experience with that one was that you're better off purchasing a new laptop altogether. So that sucks pretty badly under any circumstances, but just now happens to be a particularly bad time for it. To add insult to injury, the little monkey got a hold of my glasses after lunch and ripped open one of the frames, popping out the lens and bending it up pretty badly in the process. My husband thinks that he can fix that one and I am hoping that he is right. How much destruction can one child really cause before afternoon nap time? The answer: a lot.
The husband just got back from computer store with a new laptop. and according to him they didn't even try to sell him the 2-year warranty. In the salesman's words, "Nothing covers 2-year olds".
