Hubby got a new iPad last week. I've been playing around with it, and I would agree with my son when he said "It's just a giant iPhone" with a 'what's so great about that' tone. How would he know this bit of technology wisdom? We own iPhones too. Apparently, he forgot that fact today when we had the following conversation in the car:
Jack "Mackenzie, where's that game you were just playing on (the iPad)?"
Mack "I don't know"
Me "Hand it to me"
Jack "Dad, do you know?"
Dad "No"
Me "Hand it to me"
Jack (like he's warning me that I am about to test a nuclear device with no knowledge of nuclear technology) "it's an iPad"
Me "I know. Hand it to me"
Jack - hands it to me while saying "but it's an iPad, Mom" as if it might blow up in my hands were I to touch the wrong Ap!
Me (to my husband) "Does he really think I am that technologically inept? I know all kids surpass their parents on the technology spectrum at some point, but really? The iPad?"
I push the the icon for the correct Ap in a matter of seconds, hand it back to him silently and he says "Oh" but you could hear the 'I had no idea you weren't hopeless in the realm of technology, Mom' tone in his voice.
Seriously - the iPad?

Oh, I have a love/hate relationship with my sons know it all attitude. What happened to kids thinking their parents knew everything? We missed that stage in this house and I'm bummed.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that he thinks that I know everything else - at least for the moment! The little one came out KNOWing EVERY-thing - so I never got that stage with her. lol
