drwexA couple minutes ago my kids just came down and Thing 2 asked "Daddy can we have a spare lock and a paper clip?"
"A what?"
"A lock! Like, you know, you use to close things up."
"And why do you want this?"
"We want to practice."
Whereupon Thing 1 demonstrated that he has figured out how to use a paperclip to pop the tiny lock that came with his diary/journal book. Now they want to practice on something bigger.
They do not understand why I'm laughing so much. I did not start them on this, quite exactly precisely. They've been watching me play Skyrim, which does show old-style lockpicking, but I didn't think they'd take to it.
Also, I don't have any spare spring steel - anyone got a set they're not using?
