I don't know whether I mentioned it here, but a few months back, we let Bub use Memrise for his multiplication tables and some Mandarin characters. It seemed great, until Hubby got a notice that Bub had signed up for a Twitter account. And apparently, Bub had started talking to another member, commenting on her "long, luxurious hair." Since Hubby hasn't had a time to reconfigure the router, and I cannot literally sit at Bub's side for every moment while he is on a computer, Bub hasn't had any online access, period.
Today, one of my friends told me that her daughter (who's about the same age as Princess, which is about three) bought a three thousand dollar vacation deal through one of those Groupon (or similar website) offers. Through her iPhone. She found said daughter hiding under a desk, with her phone. Luckily, she had three days to cancel, and now she has some sort of a lock on her phone, but wow.
I bring this up because that Patagonia sale started today, and I finally got some of the pieces I've been keeping an eye out for. Bub was sitting next to me though, and just as I was putting him to bed, he asked me "How do you buy things through the computer?" He'd graciously turned his head while I'd inputted my password, during which time I'd hurriedly rushed through the checkout process, so it's understandable that he's curious, since he didn't see me input the credit card information or anything. All the same, I didn't think it would be a good idea to tell him exactly how to do such a thing, I think it's bad enough that he knows it's possible. And I know, a little knowledge is dangerous. But if I gave him a step-by-step guide, I'm also afraid he'd want to try. And perhaps I should have a private conversation with Hubby first.
