Not the best way to start your day.
Me: “Jackson, how’s your grandfather?”
Jackson: “Which one? You mean the one that’s DEAD? WELL, he’s not that good! Cause he’s DEAD!!!
Me: “Um, I was talking about your other one.”
(What do you do when your amazing computer technician puts your hard drive into another laptop and it LIVES????? You drop the the GROUND and kiss her feat. THEN you thank the LORD and think about the lesson that you learned. Yeah. Back-up EVERYTHING. RIGHT NOW.)
I hope the other grand father isn't dead too.. or oppps.
ReplyDeletelol. gotta love kids...
ReplyDeleteI had a little girl tell me her cat was dead today... not sure WHEN he died, but for some reason she decided to tell me, after a two week break, that he cat was dead.
ReplyDeleteWell, duhhhh!
ReplyDeleteGrown-ups are so dumb...;)
Yay! Your back in business! (and smarter for it)
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm guessing Grandpa isn't too good! :( So glad you weren't gone long. You're my perk for the day!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love kids!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your computer back!
They saved your dead computer? You must do more than kiss their feet!!!! You need to, like, buy them a HOUSE!! Or something!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah - little ones are awesome for their statements. They believe in FACTS!
funny how being dead isnt such a good thing...lol
ReplyDeleteyep I learned after my computer miss hap...back up..back up..back up;)
Backup? Sounds like retreating, and retreating is for sissies! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhew! I'm glad they saved it.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Jackson's grandpa sure didn't need no backup!
ReplyDeleteI once asked a little girl, about 4 years old, if she had a nice Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBig sigh, and with TONS of attitude, "No!!!"
Stupid me asked, "Why not?"
Another big harumph. "Because I'm Jewish!"
Put in my place by a 4 year old. The mother was amused.
Yeah, those kids will keep us in our place. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, he still had another one! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad school has started again. I missed the kids comments.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like your other stuff, too, but those kids!!
That totally cracked me up. Love the bluntness of kids. My 5yo daughter just told me I'm not very good at finding things. Like my sanity. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHe must have been thinking wow Miss is so nice to ask about my dead grandpa and she is loosing it too! LoL
ReplyDeletebahahaha! I love those conversations you have have with children. They make you feel stupid, yet amuse you all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteNice save there; thank goodness they're 5...
ReplyDeleteYay for computer people!!! I'll heed your advice; I got an external hard drive from Santa.
Never doubt the motherboard! Or the chick who was able to save it!
ReplyDeleteAhh kids. Nature's way of making adults feel like tools.
ReplyDeleteYAY for computer saver girl!
Glad the Other Computer lives, because otherwise it wouldn't be that good. It would be dead, Jeesh!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE dead pan little boys. Love them!
I hope you tounge kissed the technician too (cause that is what I would have done).
ReplyDeleteYou decided not to pretend and continue talking about the dead one's health?
ReplyDeleteIt's worth consulting a computer expert sometimes.
ReplyDeleteKids will never stop shocking us!
Secretia
Congrats on the laptop save!
ReplyDeleteOh funny!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love/hate moments like that. Trying to figure out what you can say to make it right. Blah!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the computer straight. That's awesome!
I drive my boyfriend *insane* with the lack of "backing up" my hard drive. I can't tell you how many times (in the past) I've called him in a panic... (Now he's learned to just do it for me. See? We both learned a lesson. I think.)
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely the worst about backing up my computer......
ReplyDeleteJeesh.
You are sooo lucky with the computer stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know. According to my husband dead would be good so he wouldn't have to deal with all my shenanegins.
ReplyDeleteDang. I say that all the time but I have no idea how to spell it!
That was hilarious! Kids!
ReplyDeleteRecently, my laptop fan died and I didn't know it. My computer would randomly die and I can't live without the internet, I cannot. When the boyfriend fixed it, I almost lost my head and proposed right then. I feel you. So very, very glad you got your data back.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of my own kid moments: following a too-spicy quesadilla from Taco Bueno, my 5 year old said, "That's not Taco Bueno, that's Taco NO Bueno. We will not eat there again." And to this day, we drive past it and she says, "There's Taco No Bueno."
Depending upon who is your computer tech, there are lots of fun ways to say "Thank you!"
ReplyDeleteYou should sign Tightwad up for a computer trouble-shooting class. :)
At least he had another one to refer back too :O)
ReplyDeleteI'm so pissed you just reminded me to back up everything because I really don't need to add another thing to my to-do list.
ReplyDelete:-)
A hinged mouth is what you need....
ReplyDeletejust like mine! :)
You can kiss her feat or her feet...either one! :)
ReplyDeletelike, when you say "dead", just how "dead" do you really mean?
ReplyDeleteYou dance the dance of joy. That is all. No feet or feat kissing.
ReplyDeleteHa! Dead would not be good :-) It's funny where kids' minds go.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo about your computer repair!
xo
Sometimes small children can make you feel awesome ("You look pretty!") and sometimes they can make you feel like a complete twit ("Why did you just pour your coffee into your corn flakes?").
ReplyDeleteAlways entertaining though.
lmao.
ReplyDeleteoh, kids. they kill me.
jeesh. lol
I've been tiptoeing around the subject of "death" with my 4yo since my grandfather passed away a few months ago. She is scared to death to lose me, so for now, she thinks people only die if they are really sick or really old....so, yesterday I, out of curiousity for her reaction, asked her where Max and Ruby's parents are since they're never on the show? She told me, Oh, they're dead. They were SOOOOO old.
