    I have kids and what I've found is that when asked who your "favourite child" is, you're expected to pick from one of your own.

    LOL :laugh: How about "None of the above?" :rolleyes: Actually, that sounds quite funny. If I HAD had children, I would secretly have pulled each of them aside, one at a time, and whispered to them: "You're my favourite child", and then sat back with a cold one to watch the show... :-\

      you would notice that: - everything is touch screen and mouse is a history to them - Windows is hard for them to use - No need to type, just use google voice recognition to search for what they want - damaged TV - since they are so used to touch screen, and would just use the remote control to hit the TV screen when they found that it's not responsive to touch

      I have 8 year old daughter and I can say, it doesn't hold true at least in my household.

      She is so great with mspaint and uses mouse effectively

      She uses is with ease at least for what she wants.

      Wrong again, She actually types to search and uses voice search only to show me how stupid it is because It doesn't understand her.

      That's so wrong in all level. She is the boss and uses it effectively. She has patience to type in youtube search via tv remote.

      cheers,

        I have no children, so I most certainly cannot comment on the validity of those statements. However, I will admit to touching laptop monitors to test whether they're touch-screen. Sometimes it's fun to do it to someone else's laptop, even when you know it isn't touch-screen.

          Considering the obvious result of your child-rearing skills, I can heartily suggest sterilization A.S.A.P.   For the benefit of the species and all that. It is also advised that your ask your spawn to embrace negative population growth, as well, lest the genetic material that produced such shining examples of ***** manage to propagate.
