I'm afraid your child has-The Knack!.

I know Dilbert right?.

But I do like this cartoon. I'm afraid I was afflicted at a young age also. But only the mechanical part I skipped the electrical gene.

My father taught chemistry and he'd bring home leftover stuff from school; obsolete instruments, electronic components, wire. Tried to build a time machine but I couldn't figure out how to align the coils. I fixed the neighbour's TV (alignment issue) and a bunch of other stuff.

After a few false starts ended up in computer science.

Today's project, finished putting the solenoids in my pedal synthesizer.
