You're Going To Break That

Kids have this insatiable desire to touch things... over and over and over... and over... again.  It simply a boredom issue but never the less it certainly does get annoying... particularly when you know their constant messing with something will result in it getting broke... but they can't see this except when it happens right before their eyes.  A light switch for example.  It has to be turned on and off.  On and off.  ON and OFF until the light bulb blows and then they are amazed.  Other things they can't see that it is there constant wear and tear that resulted in the breakage.

A car has multiple opportunities for this type of breakage.  The radio buttons have to be pushed at a rate of 12 times per minute.  You know... the always checking to see if there is a better song we might be missing.  The window has to go up and down.  Up and down.  UP and DOWN.  But the latest breakage was the console thingy between the two front seats where you store CD's, etc...

It has a latch... that when resting your arm on the console... you can pop the console open and shut... with the touch of your fingers.  It makes me crazy.  I tell them over and over and over... and over... again.  And last week I was driving by myself and the console floated up on it's own.  It won't stay shut.  The little latch has been bent to wear it doesn't catch and now it won't stay shut.

I'm telling you that auto repair columbus new exactly what the problem was... "your kids play with it right?"  "Did you tell them that they were going to break it?"

Yeah.  I did.
