gloat - show your kids how to use tools and see what happens

Jun 12, 2004 8 Replies

I came home from work late the other day and found that a torn screen in a side door had been fixed ... I asked my wife and she said our 11 year old son fixed it when he came home from school.



He said he knew how to do it because he had helped me last year, and knew that where the roller tool, screen material and scissors were ...



Makes me glad to be a Dad



He even put the tools away.


Thoughtful kid. Better keep him.

Way to go, Dad. An "I can do it" gift that'll last for a lifetime....

Yuppers - serious gloat material.

That's the awe-inspiring part! (A neener?)

Time for some phsychological intervention, the kid ain't normal! ;-) Greg

Your kid is not normal.

JOAT You know it's gonna be a bad day, when you turn on the news and they're showing escape routes out of the city.

Did ya miss the smiley at the end of my post? I WAS JOKING!!! GReg

Start of a career as a consultant. I'll hire him to consult with my kids...

Its ok ... there were just 2 tools (screen roller and scissors) , that are kept in a drawer in a workbench next to where he parks his bike in the garage. I too was surprised that the tools were put away :)
