I was told by my parents that, at the age of about 5, I watched my dad completely disassemble our vacuum cleaner to repair it; he then put it back together. The next day when he got home from work, my mom said to him, “Come and see what your son did.” It seems I had taken apart the cleaner, and left the parts on the floor. Fortunately, my dad said, I had put the parts in ordered groups, so it wasn’t a big headache for him to reassemble it. I must admit that I remember none of this.
