Our son is very engineerish.

We have always been delighted that he could build complicated things even when he was little. One morning a few days ago I woke to see this.

I thought "What has our Anakin Skywalker built today? Battle droid? Nope. He full-on Jonny 5 disassembled his fan. He told me what all the components do.

I said "Ya wanna plug it in and poke some tweezers around in it?" Thankfully he looked at me and didn't answer...like ya do when people ask dumb, unsafe questions. His non-answer was exactly what i didn't want to hear.
