Checking the e-mail

"Play computer" is one of Megan's new favorite games. We have to keep the laptop hidden or she starts begging for it.
When we do let her play we turmn on Word Perfect and set the font around 36 and let her type away. She narrates as she types her gibberish: "it's an 'M.' ... I did a seven.' Every now and then we get a "what's that?" but how do you explain a backslash or an equal sign to a two-year old?

I expect she actually will be sending e-mails not to long from now. (Historical note: I think I sent my first e-mail right around my 18th birthday. "When I was a kid, we didn't have e-mail, or the internet or cell phones..." Now if you'll excuse me while I go brush my dentures!)
