It worked because the calculator is something they rarely got to see. :-) I could just imagine your frustration and even though don't know you personally I could just see Clint watching The Office (as my guys do!) and your getting on him about getting up and away from the tv to help!

What a cutie. About the ruler, well, ummmm, I hate to tell you that stuff doesn't get any better with age. Just yesterday I was soooooo frustrated because I couldn't find my glasses. Everyone has heard this story right? Wrong!!! I take my glasses off to read, quilt, eat, but I have to have them with me because I can't see a thing clearly that is more that 3 feet from my face. I looked everywhere for the darned things and when my hubby got home from his morning walk I asked him if he could see my glasses anywhere "yes I can" was his reply looking at me. I thought, oh man, they are on my head or hooked over the neck of my sweatshirt. Feel the head, nope, not there, feel the shirt, nope, not there, I looked in the mirror, to a crystal clear image of my glasses, on my face, right where they are supposed to be. THAT explained why I couldn't see the up close things but the far away things were fine when I was looking for them, LOL. My husband calls it 'quilters syndrome'. Sounds good to me.Stitched With Prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223099347614174169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932593447088657785.post-24892407256274903612009-10-02T09:03:42.656-06:002009-10-02T09:03:42.656-06:00When you're a quilter and you have little ones...When you're a quilter and you have little ones you're always losing your mind- it happens to us all!
