Technology Is Amazing
Our new microwave has a great feature! A child lock!
When the child lock is on, you can hit all the buttons you want, and nothing happens! A certain preschooler, for example, will be unable to cook a Duplo to medium-melt. All you get is a lot of beeping noise – which is, apparently, what is attractive to Thumper in the first place.
This is a fantastic feature, and it saves us a lot of worry from what Thumper might learn to do next.
How did I discover this magnificent feature?
Thumper set the child lock, and I had to read the manual to figure out how to unlock it. Mother of the year, that’s me.
