    Get your screwdriver and other tools out of your son’s reach, sir.

    Dad uses the calm approach to break down Calvin.

    That was my brother! He loved to take things apart, then try to put them back together. He was generally successful. At 16 he became a ham radio operator and built most of his own equipment. He went on to get a degree in in Electronics Engineering and became the chief broadcast engineer at a major radio station (KGB in San Diego, CA) for 40 years. So, maybe there’s hope for Calvin yet … except Calvin’s much more obnoxious than my brother ever was. Not that that has ever stopped an engineer.

    That’s why in online escape games, the first thing you want to find is a screwdriver. You’re halfway out.

    A very good thing that Calvin didn’t have this conversation with Dad before Christmas. Come to think of it, the screwdriver may have been part of a children’s toolbox that Calvin got for Christmas.

    Calvin is the reason Torx screwdrivers were invented. Hypothetically speaking.

    A screwdriver and vicegrips, that’s all you really need, plus duct tape, of course.

    Amateur mistake. If you want to make conversation, make sure you know the topic.

    I accidentally used a “screwdriver”, or two, to disassemble a pickup truck once. In my defense, there was a little ice involved and no people.

    My Father was smart enough to give me the occasional non-working thing to take apart. Very occasionally, I was able to fix it. Nowadays, there’s very little to fix in electronic household items. Too bad – repairing something yourself gives a terrific feeling of accomplishment.

    I, too, was the disassembler in the family. I took the furnace thermostat apart once when it was acting ‘funny’ as my mother put it but could not recall how it went back together. my dad had called a Legion buddy to repair or replace it and he took a great deal of time to show me what he did to repair it and how i should document all my disassembly steps. There we were, a grizzled old WW2 vet showing an 11 year old kid how it worked. that was 1963. I have worked on cars and any other mechanical stuff my entire life. I still repair stuff rather than throw it out and buy new.

    People say you can’t hear pictures, but the tone of Calvin’s dad’s voice is very easily heard here.

    Taking things apart is easy. It’s the “putting them back together” part that’s hard.

    So what’s going on here? Was he about to admit to having done something naughty and caught himself at the last second, or did he just think he had an interesting topic but then realized he had nothing to say about it?
