Leave it to a kid to figure out how to turn an object hailed by many spouses and partners as a source of family angst into a tool for fun and learning.

Go check out my post over on Chris Brogan’s Dad-O-Matic blog today, entitled, “How A Blackberry Turned My Kid Into A Poet.” Here’s a little snippet to whet your appetite:

It was packed. Not with memos. And, not by me.

The memo section was wall to wall with songs and poems written by my 7 year old daughter. Granted, she’s a bit of a hacker in training, but it revealed to me something really interesting.
