My son ripped the damned R off my keyboard!

[rbnyc]

I put it back, but now it sticks, and/or doesn't register when you hit it,

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

This is a brand fucking new computer.

He's on this fucking computer table every chance he gets.

He was in his room, my husband called to find out if we had taco shells, I went to look, then came back and he was on top of the computer eating the damned R!

Now he's screaming in time-out.

We can't have one nice, new, un-broken thing in this house for more than a couple weeks.

Might as well just throw it all out the god damned window.

4. LOL

See, time-outs are eally for parents. I need to calm down and regain my sense of humor before dealing with the boy.

7. There is a positive side to this...

Every time you have to type "republican" you'll be banging on that damn 'r'!

:rofl:

3. In all seriousness, my condolences to you and your keyboard.

I'm amazed how he could get it out... still, modern day items lack the longevity of yesterday's items.

6. Thanks.

I just need to remember, some people don't even have computers, o apatments, or little boys.

I'm very lucky, and almost ready to get him out of time-out.

Sounds like your kid is well on his way to becoming a computer genius! Just make sure he doesn't eat the Windows key. You don't know where that's been! ;)

Thanks, tho.

14. Buwahahahahaha!

This is exactly why I recommend against people using their own money to buy laptops: they can be expensive to fix (believe me, I provided laptop support for years).

Find out if your laptop is still covered by warranty (you may have to fudge a little about what happened or the warranty won't cover this). If not, then the keyboard is a separate piece, but you'll probably have to pay someone to swap it out (it can get tricky) and that's the expensive part. :(

glass, "we just can't have nice things..."

13. LeftyKid did that to my 2 day old laptop, except he got my M key

Small boys are great fun, aren't they? :hug:
