Re: Coca Cola on the keyboard

Uhm, sounds like someone needs a diversion tactic about mommies work space.
It was big time taboo when my son was little to be messing with my work
stuff. In fact, I had old dictaphones and old typewriters (yes this was
back in typewriter days) that I sat up in a corner at a make shift desk that
was "his" work area. He ended up taking apart the machines and tinkering
but he loved it and kept him busy and out of my stuff!!
