Engineers LOVE duct tape.
Yes, we do.
And we aren't alone.
Everybody loves duct tape.
I bet all y'all have some at home right now.
Today was a cold lunch day. My kids are now old enough to make their own lunches. Since we missed the first cold lunch day I made it a point to remind the boys this morning that they needed to fix a lunch to take to school or they would be stuck eating something they didn't like.
I purposely stayed out of the kitchen. I didn't want to get sucked into helping them with their lunch business. After about 10 minutes I wander into the kitchen trying to be all nonchalant but really I was spying on them. The youngest was shoving his messy PB&J into a bag but the oldest, the oldest was working on his lunch BOX not his lunch.
I was forced to buy him a new lunch box sometime during the last school year because a friend of his had pulled the handle off the box. By the time I got there he had already put several layers of duct tape on his old lunch box. My not-so-little engi-nerd had fashioned a handle for his box out of duct tape.

As soon as I got my camera out to take a picture of his masterpiece he knew I was going to put it on my blog, email, twitter and facebook. I don't know who is prouder: him or me!

One of the true maxims of life: YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
Big props to son of nerd...looks niiiiice.
