When baby plays with your iPod

July

0709ipod.jpgCheck out the cryptic screen at the right. That’s what my iPod looked like after Pumpkin swiped it from my desk when we weren’t looking. Suffice it to say, we were a bit boggled by this message. My husband has had an iPod since 2003 — and he NEVER saw this screen before. Who knew you could actually lock your iPod? After playing around with it for a couple days, we were ready to call Apple. Then a friend visited and fixed it in a matter of minutes. In an embarrassingly obvious way. (We felt somewhat better when we considered that he’s doing an internship at Google.) What technology has your child rendered nonfunctional?

    Does sticking a sandwich in the VCR slot count?

    it was great 20 years old. it could copy anything. sigh
    but then again that was 4 years ago when she decided to put money in it. (loose change)

    How about when your little one breaks a DVD in half and then can’t understand why you can’t just fix it “with tape”?
