Young engineer at play

Seems that sliced cheese (sliced from a block, not in wrappers) makes for a great adhesive. I found some toys ‘glued’ together today.

Seems like littleun appreciates how, when freshly sliced, the cheese is soft and pliant, but after time and exposure to air, it becomes firm enough to hold items together.

Megapoints for junior engineering skills but no more unsupervised snacking with the stuff 🙂




Songwriting 101

I think the repetitive nature of some modern-day lyrics is a reflection of conversations we have with little kids

“Yes that’s a hole Yes that’s a hole

Yes that’s a hole in the couch

No please don’t poke it

NO PLEASE don’t rip it

Please yes please leave the hole all alone”




Makin stuff

Working on a project for the grandboy.

He saunters over, interested in the goings-on. “Wat YOO MAKIN’?” he says/shouts in his husky morning voice.

Then he spots the spilled glue. “OH. YOU makin’ a MESS”.

Then walks away.

O that peanut gallery
