    Umm maybe medical school? That is if they actually let you in.

    At least he picks inanimate objects for his surgical practice. :)

    The first time I got into a vacuum bag was an intense learning experience. Plus I got an extra bath. These days, I mostly use a shop type vacuum that has a filter over the sucker-device and theoretically collects the dirt in the barrel. Being so tight I squeak when I walk (and it’s not JUST my knee joints), I dig the filter off and clean it several times before I discard it. That early experience was the beginning…

    At least he did not turn on the bag after opening the bag.

    That would make you an engineer, not a doctor, as the vacuum isn’t alive

    As the time passes by, I have less and less sympathy for Calvin. He is behaving either as as idiot or as a psychopath. Selfish to the bone. I used to love him, less and less now days…

    You’re about to be surgically removed from the family.

    Some things are best left un-dissected.

    Don’t feel to bad. Even the best surgeons get in dutch trouble if they operate on their Moms rug.

    They need a sign on their wall: “Calvin is not allowed to learn surgery.”

    Or maybe a list would be better. The header would say “Calvin is not allowed to” and then they could just write things on the list as they came up.

    I still don’t understand how one makes a vacuum cleaner. By definition, doesn’t a vacuum already have nothing in it?

    Perhaps common sense is more important than surgery.

    “Dissect” dad’s lawnmower. He’ll love that when he goes to put it back together and parts are missing.

    It’s important to do your dissections in the right place. Outside.

    You can learn a lot by dissecting the waste streams of a society . . . and the vacuum cleaner bag is a great place to start.

    I love how the Mom reacts by screaming in horror. If we had to go the stock scream route, I think this one would be appropriate: https://www.sounddogs.com/media/fastpreview/Sounddogs-Preview-10295497.mp3

    I’d really like to know what Calvin grew up into. Is his last name Fauci? I never heard.

    If you want to dissect a dirt bag, I suggest a street gang member.

    You don’t dissect a machine. You disassemble it. You dissect something that was living. You don’t perform surgery on a machine. You repair it.

    Calvin at that time was traumatized and confused about himself for life as he was told a short time later, “Stop doing that. You’re a dirty dirty little boy.”

    Only way to learn is by maming mistakes and correcting it. Mom should show some patience.
