partners learn to speak your neuroses...

Sabrina: "But why did my computer fix itself for you? I did exactly the same thing and it didn't work for me!"

Michael: "Did you click the little symbol next to the account name?"

Sabrina: "Yes! Yes, I clicked exactly the same thing! WHY didn't it work?'

Michael: shrugs

Sabrina: "This happened because you touched my computer first, before I ever had a chance to bond with it."

Michael: (soothingly) "No, no, it didn't. Its first touch was with a safe person, so it feels secure in the world. It knows that I wouldn't pass it on to an unsafe person. It will work fine for you."

I'm glad I'm not the only one with that whole "I did exactly the same thing" problem. For me, though, it doesn't even take Teem touching my computer -- it's enough if he's looking over my shoulder.

I need to think back on when I got the computer, though, to explore that bonding thing.... ;)
