New House Rule: No demolition after 11:00 p.m.

{ whump-whump-bang  ping }

It's 00:10.  What is going on down stairs?

He removed the hinge pins from a bedroom door.

Why?

He is fifteen.  He has his own tools.  He is not sleepy.  He is bored.  He thought he was being quiet.

Other people's children, when they can't sleep, read.  Watch television.  Play video games.  Mine deconstructs things.

He wants to be an engineer.  This is a good thing, I think.

But sometimes ... I fear for the future.
