Ahh, the joys of "children"

**SpecOpsScott** · 09-01-08, 10:24 AM

So, we've got a full house here, for the last week, my sister in law, her husband, and their 3 children have moved in with my family while they await the closing on their new house. :8 My house is busting at the seams to say the least. My younger nephew turns two today, and although i got him a present for his birthday, he wanted to give me one too!!

This morning, i wake up (a little late since its the Holiday), and fire up the computer, and as my fingers rested on the keys, i felt... liquid. Lots and lots of liquid, so much so that the space bar and adjacent keys appeared to be floating. My dear nephew of 2 years felt it necessary to "water my keyboard". How sweet :5 I don't have the spare cash for a keyboard, hell i was still saving up for an MX518 mouse since the one i have is little more than a turd with a spitshine on it. So yet again, I'll be in and out at random. If i can steal the wife's or Blees keyboard that will do for a while!

Shh yes, the joys of little two year old kids.

That's a damn shame Scott

I'd blame it on his age... but I've done the same to my own keyboard.. although it was accidental...

I sympatize...I have twins and the two of them can have some interesting ideas of what to do with expensive electronic equipment...smash...bang...stomp...but no H2O so far.

Who knows, maybe if you keep watering it you can have a keyboard like this. :9 :P

Believe me, I feel your pain. When my kids were younger, they loved pushing random buttons. My youngest took all the credit cards out of my wallet and stuffed them in the floppy drive of my machine. I lost many an hour of grinding in Diablo 2 to a random button push by my kids. I ended up having to buy a case that had a locking door over the power button and drives.

I know you've been saving for a new mouse, but you can get a decent keyboard from Newegg for like $15-20 (including shipping).
