This is a public service announcement for those of you who let your kids play with your iPhones or iPads. I recently received 3 iTunes invoices for a bucket of Smurfberries ($4.99), a wheelbarrow of Smurfberries ($49.99), and a wagon of Smurfberries ($99.99). I had downloaded a free Smurf game for Norah, and for 15 minutes after entering my iTunes password, she was allowed to make “In-App” purchases without needing me to re-enter my password. I promptly deactivated the ability to make in-app purchases, and luckily Apple refunded my money as a one-time courtesy. It’s a good thing, because I’m not sure what kind of a job a 4-year-old could get.

I will help Norah get smurfberries too. I will have a smurfberry fundraiser.
If Apple hadn’t given me a refund it might have come to that! 🙂
