Yeah, some of the things I did as a kid, truly a miracle I'm still alive and have all my parts intact!
Guns, power tools, old electric motors, lawn mowers, TV sets, anything I could get my hands on was fair game. One of my favorite toys was an old neon transformer I discovered on the roof of my dads service station!
And it wasn't just play... Fixing flats when I wasn't big enough to put the wheel up on the machine. I'd get help lifting it up there, and I'd take it from there! Putting cars up on the lift, changing oil, had to raise it only part way up so I could reach it!

Evidently they have lived some protected lives, no clue of the effect of gravity, fire or inertia!
Quite happy to be living their lives tuned out to the world via ear buds and texting, oblivious to cause and effect!
