Since Gwendolyn could begin crawling around the living room, one of her favorite contraband toys has been computer cords. (We hypothesize that this is because she can get the folded cord back to her molars to chew on them.) We had constantly to divert her from outlets and the back of our laptops. Thus when Sara's old Toshiba died, we let her have its power cord, as well as an old wireless receiver that has been stored with an ancient laptop we nicknamed "The Boat Anchor." Most of the time she uses them for chew toys.
However, when our daughter discovered the route to the stairs, she began toting the cords with her across the kitchen floor. Here she is, stopping to check and see if any parents are watching her, power cord and wireless cord in hand:
I think she was going to take them upstairs and sell them on eBay. She's like her mom that way.
