Turns out there is a computer nerd gene

November 17, 2008

Yesterday Besh, Mommy, Nonni, Zayde and I were all downstairs chatting about something when we realize Besh isn’t downstairs with us.  So I go upstairs to look for him.  Not seeing him in his room or the play room or the bathroom, I’m about the check the closed guest room as I call out “Besh?” when from inside the theater comes “I’m in here.”

I open the door (he’s removed the child-proof lock but closed the door behind him) and he’s standing at my computer, mouse in hand, watching a Little Einsteins video on YouTube.

“It’s okay,” Besh says.  “I’m watching videos by myself.”

To sum up the interesting points in this story:

1. He undid the lock on the theater door, which I wasn’t aware he could do.

2. He closed the door behind him, probably not to be alone but rather because he got the “doors should be closed” gene from his mother.

3. He woke up the computer from sleep. (He’s done before, but still)

4. He clicked on at least one related video in YouTube by himself–I had a browser open on YouTube with one of his Wiggles movies but we’ve never watched a Little Einsteins clip on YouTube.

Now, because there are some truly disturbed people out there that create adult content using well-known kids’ brands that make just about any child’s video on YouTube about 2 clicks away from something inappropriate , I’ll need to flag my YouTube account somehow.  I thought about putting a password on the computer but with my luck he’ll just see that as a challenge, hack it, then turn his attention to my online banking links.

  1. And he got his technical genius genes from ,….? It definitely was not Nonni OR Gamaw. Pretty soon, he’ll be reading manuals. If that happens, there will be 2 people in the whole, wide world who actually READ the darn things!! Love this blog. Gamaw
