That's what my friend, Rachael, said to her husband (a rocket science engineer who makes bio fuel in his garage, just for fun), when he asked her why she wasn't curious about how some gadget worked. Like Rachael, I'm clueless when it comes to the 'hows' of almost everything. And, I sort of enjoy the ignorance. When I turn the car key, "vrooom" the car starts up. Magic! When I flip a switch...light! Magic! When I push the little ON button, "click" the TV is magically glowing back at me.
So, even though I have no idea how it happens that a tiny camera, embedded in my computer, can transmit the image my beautiful baby boy 600 miles away to Grandma's house, I'm certainly grateful for this technological magic. Here he sat, digging into his first-ever chocolate cupcake after the strains of "Happy Birthday" bellowed, surround-sound style, from here in our home AND through the speakers of the computer. On the other end, a roomful of grandmas and grandpas and other grand folks enjoyed their own dessert and watched the birthday boy smear said cake high and low, as virtually all one-year-olds do. Virtually.
It was magical. And, amazing. And I'm so glad they could join in his one-year-old celebration, even from afar. Hooray for iChat!
Happy Birthday, Bitty Boy!
