My New Mechanic

So, Friday afternoon my son-in-law & grandson came up to spend the night...they left Saturday afternoon around 1pm before Jerri & I headed out for a funeral.....grandson spent as much time as possible in my garage with my cars (when we weren't visiting my neighbor with his garage train setup or riding the Father's Day Special at the local train museum.)

Sometime before they left Saturday he & I were in the garage when I got a phone call in my workshop...when I came back into the garage, the photo shows what I found....now, remember, this is a 2-year old with a tremendous vocabulary (both his parents are MENSA)....so, our conversation went like this:

<span style="font-style: italic">"Will, what are you doing?"

"I fix it."</span> He had a 3/8" wrench and was attacking the 9/16" nut on the engine front plate - the one that holds the generator on.

<span style="font-style: italic">"What do you have in your hand?"

"Poke pancake."</span> Well, it does look like a fork!

<span style="font-style: italic">"Its a wrench, Will. Where'd you get it?"

"T's tools."</span> As he pointed to my tool box that was behind him. He calls me 'T' because that's what Jerri & all my daughter's cousins call me - well, the cousins call me 'Uncle T'...he'll probably add 'Grampa' to the 'T' when he can handle them together.

But, he was working on that engine plate!

Too cute! You've got yourself quite the little helper there. :laugh:
 
:thumbsup: My new mechanic is still on order. She should be good for getting my dash loose though in a few years. Get that kid some bolts to tighten - hehehehehehe.
 
That's priceless "T"
 
I knew what to expect with the post title. Inevitable, it is.

Feed the curiosity. Challenge it.

:thumbsup:
 
Tony, as soon as that boy is old enough you have to get him started with Mechano (Erector) sets. My Dad did me that favor and I have been "playing" with nuts and bolts ever since!! :wink: :thumbsup:
