Over the years, Niel has always teased me about my love for my laptop. He’s referred to it as my “baby” more times than I can count.
But I think Niel’s issues far outweigh mine in this department.
Yesterday he carried the laptop case out to the car as we were loading things up. I climbed into the front seat, turned around, and saw this:
Tell us what you're thinking...

bob on twenty-seven: letters that spell hope -- You’re missing the vowel underneath the first consonant (reading from right to left).... 
Frank on twitter time-out -- how about using your “old” Twitter account, at least, for the time being? 
Sharkbait on embracing uncertainty -- God promised to redeem all things. He never said they’d make sense. Now that makes sense. :-) 
Pam on embracing uncertainty -- Hi Alece, Came here from your mom’s site… this post especially touched me, particularly your last line.... 
Kaylee on twitter time-out -- A similar thing happened to me with Pinterest! I went to log in one day and it said my email and password were wrong,...

hahahahahaha. Thats hilarious!!!
SHAMEFUL!!!!
so. i probably treat my guitar the way you treat your laptop!
Haha.
i was always told that laptops are like babies… you should drop neither. therefore, i think that niel’s actions are not only justifiable but that possibly he has learned to care for and respect that which is so near and dear to you.
OR
he is mocking you in a very funny and provoking manner which deserves something fantastically over-the-top-make-you-pee-your-pants-cause-you-laughed-so-hard funny. this is fun… how can we tease niel. i’ll have to think about that for a bit.
Need to tell us anything? :)
If that laptop’s under five years old it should be in a baby-carriage Neil – A BABY-CARRIAGE, MAN!!!
Parents these days – Sheesh!

HA! too funny, nielbob. too funny.

Nice bag.
@tamhodge says:
Shouldn’t it be in a “rear facing” car seat?
it,s not about alece,s precious bag… it,s about these freakin americano drivers…. short stops. close pull outs and just dumb driving make me miss those african drivers.
cant wait to ducktape kids facing to the back to the seats..

way to care for your baby. glad to see you emerging from e-silence more often as of late. (click, click, click…you’re causign that noise too now, you know?)

As you insurance claims adjuster, do you insurance on the “child” . That seat belt should have child restraints anchors on them. Here in San Diego, I see a $700.00 fine coming your way. Ha!! Ha!!
Niel,
You’re going to duct tape your kids to the seat?
Wow.
I hope you become parents soon. I’d really like to see that.
meee, too!
(possibly this is reason #917 that we DON’T have kids!)
we always keep our children in backpacks strapped in the back seat whenever we travel. is that not normal?
This is so funny! Our cat Trucker was our BABY till our real baby came along! We use to dress him in little cat shirts and take him in the car on trips to MI. He once went camping with us!! Now he’s lucky if we remember to fill his food and water and change his litter. We had to steel my brothers cat to keep him company. So you see once you have a REAL baby everything and everyone becomes so much less important!!
It’s wonderful believe me, it puts EVERYTHING into proper perspective.
daniel — watch it! you’re giving niel ideas!
Where is the computer’s blankie?
did you have a blankie as a kid, talia?
i did. but my most prized possession for a way-too-long length of time was a stuffed puppy. he was aptly named “pupda”.
i used to make paper-towel diapers for him and change him regularly throughout the day.
once, when i opened him up for his change, i discovered… POOP! yes, pupda pooped! i was elated and ran running to my mom to show her.
turns out my dad had shoved some raisins into pupda’s diaper.
(i wonder if this has anything to do with my aversion to all-things raisin… hmph…)
RAISINS?!?! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!!!!!
OH – HEY NIEL!!!!!!
ha ha. i’m glad you liked that story! my dad’s a goof.
The truth comes out.
She hates raisins because of that.
Raisins might be showing up in random places more often now that I know this fact.
::rubs hands together::
i just have this image of miniature niels and aleces duct taped in a back seat….bahahaha.
that is scary.
on so many levels.
hahaha! so true. frightening, really. but amazingly amusing nonetheless. i AM surprised to see niel poked his head into the world of blogging for a bit. even if it was to bash on us americanos. ;)
‘lece, secret: tengo una blankie. ahora. esta aqui, conmigo. la me gusta mucho.
is your blankie from when you were just a wee thing, roobix-cube?
Umm…My dog doesn’t even use a seatbelt.
gotta protect our baby!
