Keys?

Baby J loves keys. I would say no less than 20 times a day she'll waddle up to me, push her little hand into my pocket, and ask, "keys?" Over and over. "Keys? Keys? Keys?" I usually hand them over but ever since she learned how to set off my car alarm I've ben a bit more hesitant.

But still she insists on playing with them. "Keys? Keys? Keys?"

So I took the battery out of my keyless entry clicker thingamajiggy. Now she can play with the keys and thumb the little lock and unlock buttons without setting off the "panic" feature. The only downside is now I have no keyless entry thingamajiggy and have to go back to the ol' school way of unlocking my doors manually.

It feels strange to take a step back technologically, to go from electronic, remote controls to actually hands-on mechanics. Very strange. You don't even think about the technology in your life until your daughter renders it untenable with her busy little fists.
