7yr old and random orbital

[rocketman]

Today it was time to get my 7yr old son James involved with daddy in the garage. So while his wood model helicopter was drying, we went to work. I gave him the rundown on the random orbital sander and turned him loose on the frame. He looked to be happy so I turned my attention to the engine. I sanded for a few minutes and I look over and he was really focused on the head tube and not moving the sander. I said " Hey bud watchya doin?". He replied "just tryin to get these stinkin numbers off dad!" DOH!!!!!
