This wasn't so much a "say" as it was a "do", but it still made me smile.
Setup: Melanie (nearly 2) will often approach me when I'm in my La-Z-Boy with my laptop and call out "Ramp-ah. Ramp-ah." (Which is her way of letting me know she wants to see pictures of grandpa. Thankfully, he is in some of my tagged photos, so it's relatively easy to get to a picture for her.)
So, we were having one of our Ramp-ah sessions and Melanie leans forward and touches the screen. "No, no, Melanie," I say. "Just for pretty." (Which is the phrase we universally use for things that are to be viewed and not touched.) I thought she was just trying to point at him. But, as she persisted, I then noticed that she was making a swiping motion... she was trying to sweep to the next picture, as though my laptop screen were an iPod touch screen. ;)
She's not even 2 and she already understands how the interface ought to work. Steve Jobs, you are truly a genius.
