WTF did my son do?

[kuulani]

The other day I caught my 4-yo kid banging away on my keyboard. Come to find out, he somehow turned on VoiceOver, which may help visually impaired people, but it was a pain in the ass for me (turn it on and see what i mean). I didn't even know about this feature, so here I was searching for "narrator", "narration", "speaker", etc ... not knowing what the hell I had to do to turn it off.

After two days I found it!! Thank the gods!! They must've been feeling sorry for me. To turn it off is command+F5 if anyone needs to know

I think my cat did the same thing once.

I've shown people at the office that trick many times... I never remember command-F5 but you can also go into the system preferences and under handicap accessibility or whatever it's called, you can turn it off there.

Ooh, I've done that before. Hit some tricky keyboard-combo without realising it. Drove me absofuckinglutely batfuck nuts.

Camelyn's oldest did something similar when she was about a year old or so... slammed the KB and turned it into a Greek KB

Ooooooooooooooooooh! That's what it is! Oooooooooooooooh!

I know 'cause I always use it. I find windows - d handy too (it minimizes everything and if you do it again it restores it to the way it was).

My daughter did that with her DS. And my husband did that to my iPod
