Things my kids will break

Occurred yesterday:

I hear running water in the bathroom...go in. Miles is standing on his stool with the water running and my iphone in the sink.

Miles: Wash phone mommy (with a smile on his face)
Me: No baby...mommy's phone does not need washing. 
Miles: No mommy wash phone (as I take my phone out of the sink)

So we can now also add my iphone to the list of things that my son has broken around our house.  A while back he had broken the DVD player, our CD player, and a few other electronic stuff.  Now I understand that having young children there is the possibility that some of our things will break or be broken.  In the case of our DVD player....it was an old one we had been using for YEARS and we probably needed to replace it anyways but it was still useable, but then when Miles broke it there was nothing to use.  We even went months without watching any movies.

Although it was kind of cute that he felt the need to wash something for me...it still hurts to think of how much it will cost if I have to replace the phone.  If only my son knew how much it cost to replace these type of items.  And I'm sure that there will be many many more things that will break in the years to come....it's just that it gets expensive. Thinking now I should try to figure out some way to have a policy/guarantee for items that kids will break.

So needless to say I am without a phone for a few days as we try to leave my phone in rice, as suggested by many friends and other iphone users.  Let's hope that works.
