It’s-really-quite-a-drag.

Why.couldn’t.he.have.broken.a.less.useful.key.like.the.function.key.which.I.never.use?

Ugh,ugh,and-ugh!

30 minutes later…

I fixed the spacebar!  After unsuccessfully trying to gently (and then, not so gently) reattach it, I realized that in addition to not being able to space any of my words, the “B” key wasn’t working properly either. It was really hard to press down.  So……after much cursing under my breath and telling Patrick, “You are not allowed to touch the computer!” in my firmest of firm mommy voice….

I got out the trusty “in case of emergency or entertain your son for hours and hours” flashlight (which, surprisingly, had working batteries), directed it toward the problem area and VOILA!  There was a teeny tiny little rubber thing stuck in the “B” key.

Aha!  I strategically placed the rubber piece on the connector doo-dads, reconnected the space bar and IT WAS FIXED!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I will never take SPACING for granted again!
