Honey, Get the Charger...

One of the truisms of parenthood - which makes little sense to the childless - is that you have the innate ability to hear your own child's cry in a room full of other children. And so it is with electronic devices.

I was in the changing room tonight in preparation for my regular Monday training session...the sport remains nameless...having arrived late. I was alone in the room, a typical school gym changing room, when I heard the plaintive mumble of a Blackberry set to 'vibrate' mode.

I thought for a second...'didn't I leave mine up in the main hall?'...then could tell instantly by the sound it was not mine after all. Though in this case, I am not certain who is the child and who the parent.
