Not a tool guy...

Colin was taking apart our lawn mower yesterday, and Brennan was interested. So Colin took the opportunity to show Brennan the different tools that he was using. I enjoyed watching the conversation, as it was clear that Brennan was fascinated.

So was Philip. He was standing close by, watching intently. All was well, until Colin needed a screwdriver. The first one that Brennan grabbed was a flat head, so Colin explained to him that there were flat heads and Phillip's heads. And that he needed a Phillip's head to fit in this particular hole inside the lawn mower.

At which (our) Philip burst into tears and ran to me, grabbing my leg. "But I don't want Dad to put my head in the lawn mower!" he cried.

Poor guy. I wonder if this little incident destroyed any chance of him being a "tool guy" in the future!
