I was out working on my boat the other day, and I had three kids "helping" me the whole time. Their help consisted of endless questions about what I was doing. I answer all of them. I picked up the kids and sat them on the seats in the boat so they could pretend they were out on the boat.

My wife and I have our draperies open in our big living room window, and we keep an eye on the kids when they're out playing. Their parents know that, and are happy that someone's watching.

I'm the bike fixer guy, and the bug identifier and all that sort of thing, too.
