CTTD -- with a calculator

It's a new generation I guess...

There was a calculator at the preschool today. Some of the little ones (2's)
were playing with it. They were punching the buttons, then holding it to their
ears and saying "Hello Mommy!"

LOL. Well, why not?

We have computer keyboards (not attached to anything) and several
calculators the kids can play with.

I do think ours know the difference between calculators and phones
though. They have several disconnected real phones to play with
too.

When Shaina was a toddler (this would have been, like 8-9ish years ago) and we
would watch Sesame Street, they used to have spots where a typewriter would be
shown typing out a letter and a voice would then say the letter. Shaina would
watch the spot and say out loud "Computer!"

We have phones in the preschool too. Both a regular toy desk phone and the
handset from a real, but no-longer-functional cordless phone.

(Our 4 year old seemed to know it was a calculator and have a vague idea of
what it was supposed to do, since he asked he how it worked,and I showed him
how to do some simple addition on it.)

There are a lot of adults who do the same thing with their hand held
computers. Of course, the difference is that the handheld work as phones.

When my son was a baby, he always wanted to play with the TV remote (yep, he
knew what it was for). Tired of the at-random channel-changing, I gave him a
calculator. He pointed and clicked it.

Tee hee.

lay down on my bed and flciked on the telly. sam grabbed the remote, held
onto it for dear life, then lay down like he wwas ready for sleep. typical
male. wouldnt let me have it. grrrr

and he says why didnt you tell me this - i think, hang on, i did tell you
that. but i think back and realise we were just ringing daddy on the toy
phone.. duh
