Tony Lawrence: Aneroid Comptometer
One afternoon when our youngest child was about two, I was trying
to read a book, and she needed to be entertained. As a stalling
ploy, I asked her to go get my Aneroid Comptometer.
To my surprise, she galloped off somewhere, was gone a few minutes,
and came back with one of her toys. I looked at it, and said "No,
Kate. The Aneroid Comptometer- you know, the blue one!". Kate giggled
and ran off once again.
We kept this up for ten or fifteen minutes. She was amused, and I got
to read snatches of my book until the novelty wore off.
