How’d you fix it?
G and S2 each got a little chickie-egg looking thing for Easter from Ms. A’s parents. They wind up and waddle… or at least they used to. S2’s is long lost, but G came across his earlier this week. The winding mechanism had been over-turned and it was just stuck, not going anywhere. He asked me to fix it. Not wanting to dissect it, I told him, it was no going back and it was broken. The end.
Today it works. Why? G fixed it! How? He threw it against a wall. Yep — the solution to fixing it was I guess identical to breaking it.
We’ve urged him not to “fix” his other toys similarly.
I also urge you to not encourage him to “fix” any of your broken stuff either 🙂
