This, That, and the Code

Wyatt (my 2 1/2 year old son) was putting on his boots and I was surprised to see that he’d lined them up the right way (with the arches toward each other).

My first, pessimistic, thought was that he had a 50% chance of getting it right but I praised him all the same.

He then proceeded to face the boots and attempt to put them on with the toes pointing towards his heels.

Lesson learned. Just when you think the interaction couldn’t get simpler, users uncover your assumptions.

Thanks for that one Wyatt
