Happy Birthday?

Written by Marjorie on August 17th, 2009

To celebrate his first birthday last week, Hot Fireshot accomplished all of this by 8:00 am.

1. He held the cord from my iPod speakers and swung it around like a lasso.  It’s broken now.

2. He grabbed the power cord from the computer.  The computer smashed on the floor and the monitor was destroyed.  I tried to take a picture, but I couldn’t bear to.

3. He tugged the camera off of the table, so that it, too, smashed on the floor.  But it’s FINE.  So THERE, baby.  Nice try.

I was holding or wearing this child for two of these events.  I was changing his diaper during the third.  Impressive, yes?

    Perhaps “Destruction of Electronics” is his superpower! Um…not sure how that one will come in handy.

    He’ll be highly sought after when the robot overlords attack.

    oh! thank goodness- I’ve been playing this game with this little girl at the gym for months- looking for a true super power, and she thinks that I’m crazy! but now, thanks Vikki, my new superpower is also “destruction of electronics” unless of course Hot Fireshot wants it all to himself ;)

      Marya–am testing a new reply-to-comment thingamajig… did you get this in your email?? I’m having trouble with it…

      • Marya says:

        I did not- it would have come from your email address? I haven’t received email from you since the blog directions the other day…

        • Marya says:

          Wait a minute- I didn’t receive it, but perhaps it’s because I didn’t ever click on the button that says “notify me of followup comments via email” so I’m going to click that, then you reply to it and we’ll see what happens, kay?

    Happy birthday to the destructive one. May I suggest investing in a cage so as to prevent small scale explosions on his second birthday? ;)

    Isn’t it insane that even this young you can just tell what kind of kid they are going to be. Looks like Hot Fireshot is going to be just like my little E-Baby: trouble.

    Good luck to all remaining electronics…your days are numbered!
