Can’t Fight That Hard Drive

(I am babysitting my two-year-old and five-month-old nieces. I am giving the baby a bottle while the two-year-old plays with my laptop.)

Two-Year-Old: “Auntie, I break it.”

(I look up to see the two-year-old holding up a keyboard key she’s managed to pop off.)

Me: *taking it away* “You can’t play with it anymore.”

(A few minutes later, I once again hear:)

Two-Year-Old: “Auntie, I break it.”

(I look up to see her holding yet another keyboard key she’s popped off.)

Me: “Why? Why did you do that when Auntie told you that you couldn’t play with it anymore?”

Two-Year-Old: *looks at me with an innocent face and answers* “I just had to.”
