My parents babysit my son Julio on Monday til tuesday. He loves hanging out in my dads wood/welding shop- he has a little board that he hammers nails into, which, for a little guy thats a month away from being 2 years old it something else haha.
Anyway, my father had setup a spot welder to weld some small plates or something. He turned it off when he brought Julio downstairs, but I guess welders can still hold a bit of power for a little while. My dad turned around for a second to get something and he heard ZzZzZZZZZZZZT!!!
dad said he spun around to catch julio welding a thin plate of metal. Even though this was very dangerous, Julio amazes me every day. I should get this kid in a welders union by the time he's 4.

My mom had me chopping vegetables, in diapers before I could walk, with a 12" chef's knife on the kitchen counter. Apparently people flipped out when they saw it, but I never hurt myself, and love to cook still.

This past weekend my wife, son and I, as well as another family of friends, rented a small old cabin on Mt. Hood. There was still a good amount of snow around and we had to have a fire constantly going to keep warm, which meant every few hours or so I had to go out and chop more wood.
My 6yr old would join me and unleash his fury on some unsuspecting logs with a hatchet. Afterwards he said it was his favorite part of the trip. *Wipes tear.

By the way, I never did anything. Apparently I watched Sesame Street while rolling around in, and sleeping inside of carpets.

Your child will forever understand how bright a welding spark is and which direction to point the spot welder.

Cute story, mango. Nothing more fun to a kid than "working" with the grown-ups.
