Sometimes, the image speaks for itself. His expression coupled with the sign… how would you respond?
It’s true. He was watching a movie on my computer and knocked the table over. My MacBook Pro fell to the ground and now has a dent in the smooth silver top near the Apple. If you know anything about me, you know I like to take care of my stuff… even after I read a book, it still looks brand new… I sometimes wait months before writing in a new journal because I don’t want to mess it up… I kept my computer in the original packaging for a long time and didn’t have any dents after 18 months… until now.
Oh well… now I need to find a good cover for my laptop so I don’t have to be reminded that it’s no longer pristine. I just keep reminding myself that people are more important than things. My little one’s response… “It’s okay… it still works.”
I refuse to take a picture of the dent… somehow it feels like that will make it real. If I never close the top again, I won’t have to look at it. I think I’m still in denial.
