I've wondered when the "shutter click" sound will cease to have any referent but will just exist as "the sound that computers make when they take a picture."

Of course, about half way through that last word, I realized my sentence had gone terribly wrong. My wife then asked me if it was just like a little stone tablet, too.
Anyway, it turned out to be a bad idea. My daughter just kept pulling on the labels while they were printing, and I think the mechanism is broken now. So, I don't recommend label makers as toys for 2 year-olds.
