Hacker baby was having fun. All he did was press a few buttons and before anyone knew what had happened he was inside the NASA computers, playing with the planets. He made the moon blink on and off. He made stars go supernova. Hundreds of them. Because the explosions made such pretty colors. Then he hit reset and they were back again. He made the sun skirt around on the horizon. It was more fun than bouncing beach balls off of papa's belly. Hacker baby loved it. But people outside were going nuts. They didn't realize that all those planets and stars in the sky were put there by NASA and run by a Mac.

This is what happens when you give your kid a stuffed Tux penguin -- he bypasses your Windows XP setup for something really effective. Perhaps too effective. Should trade his penguin for a talking purple dinosaur so he can be like all the other kids.
Hacker baby puts my computer skills to shame. I've been blogging/emailing a 79 year old woman and her blog looks great. Mine is the basic template and nothing more. I have never even posted a link yet. Courtney set up links to the family blogs just recently. She told me today that she will show me some of her amazing computer tricks so I can link to you, Mush, and others. I'll be nipping at Hacker baby's heels in no time.
Cute story, Indie. I LOVE babies!!!!!!! I'm 41 now, so technically I could have a couple more before it becomes an impossibility. Perish that thought!
Mush: It only happens once in a blue moon.
Jamie: There are a couple of other "baby" stories you might enjoy:
Story #30
Story #110
P.S. Jamie: my blog is also just the basic template, plus all the stuff I've copied and pasted into it. That's all you have to learn. I don't know html or java script myself. I couldn't design my own template and have it look good.
your dogs and baby stories are the best!
Amazing, how something can start out so innocent and mushroom into something so complicated.
The small, but sacred lessons of life!
Great story. I knew the moon was on Mac OS
Ola: If I only wrote baby or dog stories it would get old fast. Pretty girls never get old. Look in a mirror!
Barbara: Your comment (but not my post) reminds me of a Loriot sketch (a German humorist) in which a painting hangs crooked, and he tries to straighten it. Things get worse and worse and in the end the entire room is demolished. Monty Python had a similar sketch, I believe.
Doug: I knew you'd like this one ;-)
Indie:
Barbara from CA is one of the blog friends I invited to your site. I hope a few more come as well. Hooray! The fun is catching on!!!!
I enjoyed both baby stories. My parents have a pic of me like that with food all over my face. Art indeed. The Kung Fu baby story made me laugh just from the visual images it creates. Go, baby, go!
Ah - the mysteries of the universe unfold before my very eyes...
I'm just not sure I want to know what 'rain' really is then...
Very nice story as always, but the little hacker apealed to me a lot :D.
So that's what my kids have been doing. The plot thickens :)
Thank you Quincy. When someone as wise as you says that, I just have to agree. (I see you took Courtney's writing class... Coolesque, wasn't it?)
