This is perhaps the most valuable feature in our apartment. Its a 'start over' button. Well actually its a tiny piece of paper adhered to the wall with double stick tape that reads 'start over'. It was created on a day when Papa H and Uta were playing balloon volleyball in the living room. Uta lost. He was absolutely inconsolable in his despair. Losing graciously is an art that Uta needs some practice with. The start over button was all we could do to end the tears and play on. Since then it has come in handy often, not just for games lost, but any time Uta gets upset (like when a prized lego creation gets dropped). Pressing it enables Uta to drop the drama, save face, and simply begin again.
