“CLICK CLACK, MOO – Cows That Type”

Posted by danleone on April 29th, 2007 filed in funny, parenting

I was reading the above book to my baby goats last night as one of the 50 I had to read for their bedtime. Everyone was interested in the book, but surprisingly remained silent but at the same time, I could tell their brains were chewing on something. Then when I got to the end of the story, my 5 year old said what that sound CLICK, CLACK was supposed to mean? I said it was the sound that a typewriter makes. You can guess what the next question was: “Dad, what is a typewriter!”

After wanting to jump out the window (we live on the first floor…it figures), my genius 9 year old said:

“A typewriter is a devise ancient people used before computers were invented. I know, because I think I saw one in a museum once.”

I told him that archaeologists have recently dug up the remains of television sets that did not come with a remote control.

    I remember the sinking feeling I had when I said to a group of kid, “C’mon and do what I asked, you are making me sound like a broken record.” They finally got quiet, but it was because they had no idea what I was talking about–and this was more than 10 years ago. Oh well.

    LOL Oh come on now, typewriters have moved up in the world just a smidge, they are electronic now and don’t make the click-clack noise. I still have one in my office although it just collects dust.
