Daniel woke up one morning and decided it was fun to pour his milk on every visible hole of the phone. (He also tinkered with my 17″ Macbook Pro and successfully pulled out the Right key—now I cannot figure out how to put it back!) Imagine my horror when I saw my phone swimming in white liquid, totally drenched, and not working! On the other hand, my son was grinning beside me, as if to say, you like it Mom?

That’s not funny, Daniel.

So I was away from the mobile universe for more than a week. Fortunately, I only had 11 contacts in my phone book so I didn’t really miss anything major. (I was just building my contact list and reconnecting with friends.) Besides, they all have my e-mail.

I was hoping that Apple would replace my phone. After all, it was just 3-weeks old and in super mint, pristine condition. Fat Chance! Of course Apple has a way of knowing whether there was water involved or it just died on its own. I was so disappointed that I had to buy a new one and that $100 off the regular price didn’t make me feel better.

It cost me a new iPhone to learn my lesson: gadgets and toddlers don’t belong together. Now, I have it buried under my pillow or tucked away in the deepest part of our closet before I sleep at night and pretend, when I wake up, that it doesn’t even exist.
