Window Into Cody's Mind

I should have posted this a few weeks ago when it happened, but then the Plague descended. Anyway.

So I'm sitting at my computer on the dining room table and I've just opened up a Word document so I can start writing a piece. Cody walks in and stands next to me and starts asking about the keyboard. "So you just press the letter and the letter appears on the screen?" he asks. I answer in the affirmative.

"And you don't have to write with a pencil?" he asks. Again, I answer in the affirmative.

Cody asks if he can try typing. I slide out of the seat and invite him to sit down and experiment with it. What follows is--hand to God--a cut-and-paste transcription from that Word doc, which I will save forever. I beg you to read to the last three lines.
