Batteries in a Bird

We have a toy bird. Talk to it while pressing a button and it repeats what you said, a couple pitches higher.

Unfortunately, the kids leave the darn thing on all day and we’re constantly changing its batteries.

Our boy thinks that is part of the fun. He loves to pull out the screw driver and pop the two batteries into the bird. He knows which one should be pointing positive up and that the other positive goes down.

Yesterday, he decided to put them both in, positive up. Then both positive down.

He looked at me with a glimmer in his eye. He found it hilarious and laughed and laughed.

Finally he put them in correctly, still chuckling at this hilarious joke.
