Computers Are His Thing

I think I’ve mentioned a time or two that The Boy knows his way around a computer. And he’s bilingual, knowing and understanding both Mac and PC operating systems. He even knows the logos of all the various releases of Windows… Yeah, computers are his thing. He can whip up an insanely creative PowerPoint like there’s no tomorrow. And now he wants to get into making videos…

Tonight, my iPhone suddenly and inexplicably went to that setting where everything on the screen looks like a film negative. I was familiar with it because a year or two ago, The Boy thought it was hilarious, and would change the settings on anyone’s phone left lying around. I couldn’t remember how to undo it, so I called him from his room, “Would you come here? My phone did that thing, and I need you to do the thing to fix it…” or something along those lines.

I handed him the phone, and literally the next second, he handed it back and said, “I fixed it.”

The Man was shaking his head, in disbelief, and I demanded, “HOW did you DO that?!!”

He said, “I pressed the home button three times, and that fixes it.”
