Title: Parenthood teaches you patience...
Post by: republic on January 19, 2013, 06:26:34 PM
A few hours ago.   My 5 year old little girl:   "Umm...daddy I did something on accident you need to see.  ...um and your going to be mad."

Well, you probably watch too much football anyway. It might be good for you!  (ducks behind cover)

My guess is she jumped up and tried to hang off of it.

Ya it looked too tempting.  I suppose I should invest in some monkeybars.  :)

After my initial irritation, I was actually proud of her for coming right to me to tell me.  Makes me feel good to bring a little more honor into the world.  Though...I would like to watch TV.  :)

You can explain that all to her when you sell her to Gypsies to pay for a new one.

Just breathe. At least it wasn't your PC.

Gus is right about the PC, but if all the cables are intact you can probably duct tape it until a tech gets out to fix it. :)

Good on her for being honest. It's a sign you're doing something right :)

Now she has no future in politics she's going to have to learn a trade.

For punishment she has to stand outside and hold the receiver together until you can watch TV.  :D

Unfortunately in my attempt to southern engineer it I put a screw right through the copper core of the wire...actually...both wires.  :)

Tell Dish Network you are thinking of switching to DirecTv but that you could be persuaded to stay on for a new dish. Maybe they'll send you one, who knows?
