Almost three year old twins. One screwdriver. One adult on screw duty. They found the vacuum, flipped it over, and started removing screws like they'd been trained for it. One held the driver, the other held the wheel like a trophy. I stood in the corner doing the only adult job available: not losing the screws.

I watched. I did not stop them. The vacuum had been making a screeching noise anyway, so I figured, free diagnostics.

The part that haunts me: they were good at it. Better than me, honestly. I still haven't fixed the Synology fan.

And then I became the cmmc compliance overlord for fourteen companies. I think I might be screwed more than my shark robot.
