No Shift
Colin just adores playing with our laptop. He will open it himself, (pretend) types with both hands and all ten fingers, and the other day found a host of National Geographic videos that were pre-installed that neither Hari nor I knew about in the three years we've owned the thing. Go figure.
Recently he's become obsessed with the "Shift" key. Or more accurately, he is obsessed with removal of the shift key. He likes to pop it off the keyboard, then says "uh-oh!" and brings the displaced key to me. Unfortunately uh-oh means something a little different to Colin than it does to the rest of us. For Colin uh-oh means "Gee, Mom, you need to put this back so I can pop it off again."
Colin is a clever child with an extensive vocabulary (for an 18-month-old), but we're going to have to work on his understanding of uh-oh. As the immortal Inigo Montoya once so wisely said: You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.
