I don’t know anyone who would take something apart and not be able to get it together again Sometimes I would be well served to leave things intact and alone. Oh well. Being able to explore the things around us is to be human I suppose.

Thanks for being in the chain.

Your post made me think back to 2 weeks ago. I gave my niece a cute pen that made funy noises. She is just like you and has to know how things work. She pulled it apart and a wire broke. Then I dsicovered that for her knowing how it worked was far more important than having it working: she showed me every single part she had detached and wasn’t at all perturbed by the fact that it no longer worked. Understanding was all she needed.

You are so brave! I have a couple cameras, two real live film bearing ones. But I’d be terrified to do anything other than clean the lens and even then I’m worried I’ll scratch it. I think I suffer from … fear!

I don’t so much suffer from having to take things apart, as I do from having to know how things work. I did, however, take apart a nightlight once, figured out what was wrong with it, fixed it and put it back together. I plugged it in and it worked. I was so darned proud of myself.

Ah yes. I’ve been known to do that – with things, writing and myself.

I try to put more things together now rather than taking them apart. So far it seems to be working…
