Invader ScoogeOkay: let me explain what my then two-year-old daughter did in this picture. First let’s look at the correct information: a circular object must go in the CD-ROM drive. My daughter is absolutely correct about this!

Okay we have rightly divided the correct information from the rest of the stuff:

  • So she’s clearly thought that one circular object was not enough.
  • I am almost certain that she knew the circular object that goes into the CD-ROM drive must be flatter than the circular objects she could get her hands on—otherwise she would have tried to close the drive… She is aware that it is difficult to get her hands on actual disks so she did the best she could! She found the closest thing to an actual CD!
  • Okay, once she got one makeshift ‘disk’ on the CD-ROM tray, she clearly understood that it was not going to fit (be aware that she opened the CD-ROM drive herself). She knows how to close the CD-ROM drive but she did not do this. My fatherly guess is that once she saw how her one fat circle fit on the tray she switched gears and went into object-stack mode!So what we have here, in the rasx() context, is my daughter trying to use the CD-ROM drive and failing to use the CD-ROM—but succeeding as an object stacker. My daughter’s thoughts flow like water. Instead of crying about not being able to have a CD-ROM, her cup runneth over with building on top of the so-called failure. She was as quiet as a kitty cat! We just turned our backs for a few moments and then turned around to see her baby monument. Stick and move! Stick and move! She more of my daughter’s baby monuments on flickr.com!

I'm absolutely astonished that there isn't a trace or Edubuntu in that PC photo.. How will you remedy this situation? Raise her right ;)
