    Since it’s not IKEA, no pictures.

    Actually, with Norman, that would probably make it worse.

    I am an intelligent man, but I have the mechanical coordination of a baby. I struggle to put a nail in the wall to hang a picture, never mind anything that actually takes mechanical skill. Norm just needs to find something he’s good at and make a career out of it. Assembling barbecues does not look like the right career.

    I prefer the kind that don’t have any words. Just pictures and numbers. They’re always either eloquently simple or hilariously incomprehensible.

    I would say “Seriously, Norm?”, but then I remember who we’re talking about!

    Last January, I assembled a greenhouse. There were the usual warnings – in 16 languages. The actual instructions were all pictures. 74 pages of them and only three serious errors.

    I would love to see a real-life hardware store that looks like a toolbox!

    I really want Norman to find a skill where he excels and can find validation.

    Norman got the boxes open. He’s smarter than I thought.

    He requires very close supervision.

    Actually, I’m not too surprised. In most of the country it seems like English is a second language.

    I say if sold in the USA, instructions should be in English!! If they can’t read or speak English then go back to where ever!!!
