Know your limits

Today a couple of the neighbor kids were playing in our house.  One of them asked to use a computer to feed his Webkinz.  This particular little guy just started kindergarten.  I was interested in seeing what he could do on his own.

I pointed him to our second grader’s computer.  He double-clicked “e” on the desktop.  The computer went to some Barbie page.  Without flinching, he opened the favorites and found the Webkinz icon in the listing.  A few seconds later he was logged in with his username and password.

He fed his “pet” and asked if it was ok to play his favorite Webkinz game.  I asked him what his favorite game was.  He pointed to the link at the bottom of the page.  I asked him the name of the game. 

Without missing a beat he looked at me and said, “I don’t know.  I can’t read.”
