I was just sitting here in my office (my bed) with my computer on my lap typing up a comment to a student in one of the hundreds of discussion boards I have to participate in each week. So, as I'm sitting here, Jaime comes up and sits down next to me. And I look over at her and keep looking while typing up my message. She kind of laughed at that and pointed it out to me.
It reminded me of a time when I was a kid and was convinced that Mom had superpowers. I am pretty sure we were living in Indiana, but I could be wrong about that. So, she was typing away at something, and I think I was running up to tell her something. And when I approached, she turned her head to look at me, and she just kept typing along on the keyboard. I'm pretty sure we had a 20 minute conversation and she never stopped typing or looked back at the computer...that may be a little bit of an exaggeration on the time there. But it was the most amazing thing I had seen up to that point in my life! And I was a little convinced that there was some sort of witchcraft involved because how could that be possible?!
Speaking of early computers...anyone else have fond memories of Dig Dug and Centipede? Or maybe really resentful memories about when you were about to get a high score in a game and your bratty little brother ruined it for you because it was his turn to play...and he turned off the computer or something horrible like that? You don't remember that? Good. Let's just forget I said anything then.
