base283 0 #1 June 6, 2004 Amy, I sit here with her, on the PC, showing her the visualizations in Winamp. Maybe I am contributing to her technoholic tendencies, She has the Barbie and the Kleinen EisBär CD-ROM all figgered out., She shows me how to inter act with the ROM prog. Actually she switched on the PC, typed her password, inserted the CD, and opened the Prog. I gave this PC to her as an early birthday present. Hoping it would be cooler than the glitter pens she fell for at Christmas. I can´t speak her language unfortunately. Her command of the dialectual language far surpasses mine. Even though she controls the mouse 90° off of my hand held way, she does great. Tears of joy come to my eyes. I have created a monster just like me, only more beautiful..She searches her vocab for the English word to convey her meaning. She means what she says.,always has to get the point across, just like dad. She clicks barbie´s wardrobe and selects bikinis. Am I a bad dad because I invited her into this world where everything is only a click away? The grin on her face chases the guilt to a far corner of my mind, but only for a moment. I have to be responsible and explain as best as I can why Bambi´s mother died while she is hangin on my neck with her slate blue piercing eyes staring directly into my soul……I have consolance in knowing that the same characteristics her mom didn´t like about me, my little princess-monster has 10 fold…MuHahahaha…….She will be away on her birthday, doing the Orlando theme park thingy with Mom. The first birthday. without me….4yrs old……..She tries repeatedly to comb my hair into submission. It doesn´t work, so she justs musses it up and laughs in the “MuHahaha power trip” way again and again. I sit there like a slave being whipped and ridiculed only for the pleasure of another who acts just like me. She saves me from the nothing I have become…I am pleased. God is good…note to me: I must learn the bavarian language dialect. Take care space Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
