Incidents with my son and my father in his retirement:
* What is it like on the roof with your antennas? So they went up there. He was 3-4.
* The thing that makes the squiggly lines isn’t turning on, oh, it is broken. Can I see how you fix it? They took apart a micron oscilloscope and when he tried to talk about it, everyone thought he meant a kaleidoscope.
* “I want to see the animals like monkeys and Go Diego Go.” Impromptu trip to animal reserve. What did the kids remember? A rescued bobcat kitten sleeping with a house cat about as big as it.
Memories that will last a lifetime, and shape their character as well.
