How to speak dragon?

We visited with Neatnik's Great-Uncle iPhone and Great-Aunt Basket over the long weekend. Neatnik loves visiting them: getting there involves a multiple state drive and she gets to be entertained by a stand-in grandpa.

Neatnik has a bit of a fascination with dragons lately. She wants to read How to Speak Dragoneseand How to Train Your Dragonis currently her favorite movie.

Yesterday, Uncle iPhone introduced the child to Dragon NaturallySpeaking.When he told her that she could talk to the computer and it would type for her, her ears perked up. He set the hook as soon as he told her the name of the software. Check out what she spoke to the computer:

Hello, my name is Neatnik. Amazing, isn't it? Are you happy? Uncle iPhone, my friend, is over here. If what is your name? Is it really Dragon? Do you have dragon back. I said breast. No breath!

I'm using the DragonBar Premium. I think Uncle iPhone rules here, but I rule back home. I am now going to choose a new font.

DC will ever use DragonBar Premium? I said do you ever use DragonBar Premium? What is your favorite color? Do you like seeing? I said, do you like to sing? Why are you not working too well?

Aunt Basket, please come here, will you? 'Cause I want you here. Wait one second. I am sorry, but Aunt Basket is not available. I hope to see you soon.

Goodbye! Thank you for listening!

omg, she's too cute.:) I have dragon on my work computer(s) b/c it's often easier to transcribe emails on the road that way. I still prefer to type, but sometimes I can do two things at once this way. (like knit!)

Awww! I was really into dragons at her age, too. Is she too young for Dragonsong and Dragonsinger?
