    Well you got the “dissecting” part down.

    How about acupuncture?

    On second thought… no.

    Not only that, Calvin used Mom’s good scissors!

    Thankfully, he didn’t aspire to be an electrician and decide to learn how a plugged in toaster operates.

    But people who professionally dissect something have to tidy up afterwards too.

    Making a mess and at the same time destroying the means to clean it up. I see a great career in politics for Calvin.

    Do they even make those small canister vacs any more?

    And hopefully he pronounced it correctly. It’s “dis-sect”, not “dye-sect”. My 10th-grade Biology teacher, Mr. Blake, taught us that. He said that by pronouncing it “dye-sect” you’d be indicating that you were cutting the object in half, similar to bisect.

    I was told by my parents that, at the age of about 5, I watched my dad completely disassemble our vacuum cleaner to repair it; he then put it back together. The next day when he got home from work, my mom said to him, “Come and see what your son did.” It seems I had taken apart the cleaner, and left the parts on the floor. Fortunately, my dad said, I had put the parts in ordered groups, so it wasn’t a big headache for him to reassemble it. I must admit that I remember none of this.

    I developed a dust allergy early on so I stayed away from dust bags, etc. Mom was lucky, but not always. I wasn’t allergic to much of the other possibilities for mischief.

    My daughter has an insatiable curiosity; thankfully, she also has common sense. She actually asked permission to dissect a Tide pod. No, not to eat it. See above, “common sense”.

    It’s nice not having to mess with vacuum bags or worse they stop making the unique bag your vacuum uses.

    Permission from the patient or other responsible party is paramount prior to cutting open.

    Cal’s been following Monty’s strip and he thought there might be a nickel in the vac bag.

    And thus ends Calvin’s “doctor” period… that, and discovering he has another 12-15 years of school ahead of him after (or should I say,if) he graduates from high school.

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of dust bunny voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    Calvin, maybe tell your parents that you want to attempt to become a doctor, and they will most likely encourage you if it means getting you out of the house and not blowing up a gas tank or mass murdering snowmen.

    Calvin should have figured out by now that he’s more likely to get away with his science experiments and other shenanigans if he does them outdoors…
