原來低能是會遺傳的 Incompetence is Hereditary

媽媽是個電器大白痴。

和爸爸交往的時候,我曾經向他形容我修電器
的標準作業流程。記得那封email大概是這樣寫的:

如果我的什麽電器壞了,我就:

1。所有的按鈕全部亂按一通,看會不會活過來。

不活過來,我就。。。

2。敲打一翻,説不定它是欠揍,打一打就乖了。

再不好起來,我就。。。

3。找別人來救我。

當時爸爸笑死了。卻沒想到娶什麽樣的老婆生什麽樣的女兒,真不是玩的。


話説我們家丫頭超級無敵愛看電視,從三個月開始,就懂得不讓人擋住她看電視,從小看起電視來就樂不可支,投入無比。

限制她看電視成了頭痛的問題,索性把電視関起來。

從兩三個禮拜前開始,丫頭可不依了,大人一關電視,她就沖上去去搶救她的最愛。。。

搶救的方法嘛。。。天啊,簡直是媽媽修電器的翻版。

先亂按按鈕一通,再打打打,再回頭看看有沒有人可以幫她。

屢試不爽。

唉,真像!真像!

女兒啊,媽媽的經驗,那樣修法,多數的時候是越修越壞啦。你不要學啦!

低能也是會遺傳的。。。從七個月大就看得出來了。

Mommy is a total mechanic/appliance idiot. Her SOP for fixing anything electronic is:

1. push every button or combinations of different buttons randomly...and hope for something interesting to happen.

If that doesn't work, then

2. bang on the whole thing and see if I can literally whip the thing into shape.

If that also fails, then

3. cry for help.

Well, like mother like daughter, genes are no joke.

Our darling daughter has been addicted to TV since very early on. She knew to defend her view of it at 3 months of age. She laughs and cheers watching her favorite show.

We are sometimes at our wits end trying to figure out how to limit her TV time.

So we turned the TV off.

Well, starting from around 2-3 weeks ago - that stopped working too. The little imp would rush forward to try to fix the TV each time we turned it off. 

And the way she fixes the TV? Just like how mommy would do it -
... push every button
... bang on it
and ....turn around to ask for help.

Yep! She got that from mommy.

Looks like we have a mechanic idiot in the making here.
