Kalib blasts me out of the bedroom when he makes an annoying discovery
I was in the bedroom, when all of a sudden the horn in the Escape began to honk repeatedly. "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!..."
I blasted out of the bedroom and charged toward the living room to see if I could put a stop to this racket, as I knew the neighbors were hearing it, too.
There, standing in the front room was Kalib, who had gotten ahold of the electronic key. Kalib likes to push buttons and had just done so, setting off the horn. But the horn was quiet now, because Kalib's Dad had just turned it off.
Kalib still had possession of the keys, however, and was most excited about it, for he suddenly realized that he held a magical power within his hands.
Kalib presses the button again.
Kalib jumps up with excitement and looks out the window towards the car as the horn blasts away again. He knows that, somehow, when he pushed that button, he caused this to happen.
Kalib points toward the honking car, as if to say, "listen to what I just did!"
Kalib pushes the button again. The horn stops.
Again he pushes the button.
He looks toward the window in amazement as the car begins to honk again.
Dad tries to get Kalib to give him the keys. Kalib does not want to yield them.

He is a born genius! Kids do such amazing things leaving us feel so small in front of them... This reminds me of my nephew when he was just two & half years old. His mom took him to the terrace with her to put the washed clothes to dry (as it always happens in India - the solar energy). When she was busy arranging the clothes in a row, my nephew 'Rajeev' looked on anxiously... Later in the afternoon, it was time to get the dry clothes back & he followed her...To her amusement, he toched one of them & questioned, 'Mom, how does the water disappear from this..?' :)
