We created a monster - part 356

What started as an innocent test turned into an addiction. Now, David is hooked on a YouTube video of Happy Feet. His favorite word inside the house is now "penga" ("Penguin") and Mom's computer is now the official Happy Feet device of the household. In the meantime, dad is frantically trying to find ways to prevent David from discovering he can watch videos on his computer too. A conjunction of ultra-sophiscated software and barbed wire is under consideration.

To show you how bad it is, here's a recent conversation between Mom and David, the former trying to corrupt the latter out of her computer with food:

Mom: pizza?
David: penga?
Mom: pizza?
David: penga?
(and so on and so forth)

The only break we got was when mom tried to take a picture of dad & son watching the said video - David waived his arms towards the camera saying "camwa!". So now Mom - who never wanted her son to get too close to computer and electronics until he was 10 or so - is seriously considering offering David a camera to get her computer back.
