Computer

Computer Connie was very excited. Today was her birthday and she had just received her very own computer! " With a computer come certain responsibilities, " said her father. “ You have to use it responsibly or it will be put away. ” " I will, " promised Connie. " That means no chat rooms other than the one your school uses, " said Dad. “ No talking to strangers and no giving out your name, address or email. " " I won't. " promised Connie. " And if something doesn't seem right, I'll tell you or Mom. "

" Okay. " said Dad. " Then ao ahead and turn it on. " Connie pushed the start button, but nothing happened. She tried again. But still nothing. " Oh no! " she cried. " It's broken and I haven't even used it once. " " I'll take it back tomorrow and get another one. " said Dad. Suddenly, Mom started laughing. She held up the cord. " It will work much better if you plug it in! "
