Darius and his daddy huddled around my computer looking for paper airplane designs on the internet this morning. With both of them still in PJ’s, looking up websites dedicated to paper airplanes, it was fun to watch them.
I know the day will come when Darius doesn’t want to use his mother’s computer and we invest in one for the family. When I have to perform random checks on his “friends” on Facebook or MySpace. When I decide where the computer resides, what sort of protection software I install, and talk about online predators.
As Darius slowly types the letters on the keyboard for a search, I watch my child learn the power of information. All brought forth by my computer, a flat screen monitor, and a wireless mouse.
The computer in this house will change, but for now I’m happy it’s a new form of father-son bonding. Even if paper airplanes are flown inside.
