Luky Is Not A Technophile

Luky has been funny for the past two days. See, his mommy, Kiki, is not feeling well, so she's at the Lake House resting up. Of course, that doesn't mean we don't need her tying into a conference call from time to time . . . and to make things as convenient as possible, I simply put her on the speakerphone.

Well, it turns out that our speakerphone is a pretty good model. It's loud and sounds pretty true. So, whenever Kiki says anything through the speaker Luky is convinced she's in the room somewhere - just playing Hide and Seek.

I told her what was going on and that inspired her to try to calm him with a few words of love and encouragement . . . like a personal address, calling his name. That did it! Now he's really convinced she's here, and he has to start walking around looking for her.

I tried to explain it to him, but - despite his comprehension of Wittgenstein, Maslow and Cosmology - like many of us, electronic gadgets just leave him baffled!
