Yesterday Katie (2 1/2) was playing out by the TV, and I was in my office working. She came in to ask me to put on a movie for her, which I did. I came out, put the DVD in the player, and turned it on.

Katie then said, “Need the controller?” I said yes. She was pointing at it on the coffee table. So I picked it up, and immediately the cover for the battery compartment fell off. The tab that holds it in had been broken, and it had just been placed back over the compartment.

Katie put on a very surprised face, and immediately said, “Oh, is it broken?”

Stinker.
