the child teaches the parent
Posted February 15th, 2007 by Mom |
At this moment, I am baffled, bewildered. My 4 year old just set our home alarm system.
C said he wanted to go out in the backyard. I was checking my email around the corner from the alarm pad. I heard beeping and got up to stop C from pressing buttons. He looked at me and said again that he wanted to go out back, but the alarm was “red.” I had just been out front to put mail in the mail box and knew that the alarm was “green.” I looked at the the alarm pad, and sure enough, the red light was on. I disarmed it, and the kids went outside.
I just got up to look at the alarm again, and it is still green. Don’t have a clue what he did. The alarm must have an “instant set.” on it. Will check the owner’s manual today. (If there are any thiefs reading this… our alarm system IS monitored!)
I now understand how my parents and B’s parents felt going into the computer age. They had to learn new stuff regarding computers while we were growing up with computers surrounding us. Gosh, little C is getting to be more technologically advanced than me!
