Oh, yeah.

I made the mistake of leaving the back off our near-new 27" TV (quite
expen$ive in '88 or so), and just shoved the tools underneath.  I'd been
working very late one night replacing a speaker one of the little darlings
had skewered with a toy.  My oldest son, about 4 or 5 at the time, decided
he'd help Daddy by taking a 10" Crescent wrench to the neck of the tube.

We didn't watch TV for a couple of years.  Even if I could have afforded a
new CRT, I didn't have the equipment to gfet it tweaked and aligned
properly, and the repair shops flat out told me it would cost less to
replace the set.  Eventually the nice oak swivel TV made a dandy stand for
the 13" replacement.

And there's the bright orange spray paint...  the drill incident...  and
so on, and so on.  May they all have kids of their own some day - I could
use a good laugh!
