baby changing table

If I sit my old laptop on the changing table while I potty, will it change into the new laptop I want?

Lunchtime Encounter

Was walking back to work with my lunch and came across a middle-aged man sitting on a stoop hugging a red teddy bear. He looked sad. I walked by. But I couldn't shake the nudge to go back and check on him. So, I turned around.
I put my hand on his shoulder and asked, "hey, are you okay?" He looked up and stuttered, "I-I-I'm a little, I'm a little hungry."
I opened the to-go box in my hand and asked him if it looked good. I told him he could have it or I would take him to any other restaurant around to get him some lunch. He said what was in my box looked good, and it became his.
I held out a plastic fork wrapped in a napkin. He told me he was allergic to "those" and had been his whole life.
"Allergic to forks?" I asked.
"Yes," he said with a chuckle. "B-b-but, do you h-have a couple dollars so I can get some cigarettes?"
"No, I'm sorry. I have no cash."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Okay. Well, I hope you enjoy your lunch. Wait... What's your name?"
"My family doesn't believe in names."
"You don't have a name?"
"No. They don't believe in names."
"Okay. Well, it's nice to meet you. Have a nice day."

Interesting encounters in the ATL.

Thank you, Daddy...

...for loving your in-laws as though they were your parents. Nothing makes my heart smile more than listening to Granny talk about the time you have spent together, the conversations you have had, and the things you have done for her.

I love that I cannot relate when folks talk about not liking or not getting along with their in-laws. All I have ever known of that relationship is your utmost respect and unconditional love for my grandparents.

Your heart is beautiful.

Thank you, Daddy, for being beautiful.
