The girls have been sick most of the week. They both went back to school for the first time yesterday. Since all they wanted to do was lay on the couch and watch tv, the boy needed something to keep him busy.
So we brought out the broken blender. I have done this for him in the past (last time it was a blow dryer).
I love letting him do this, but parent supervision is pretty important. Both the blow dryer and blender had some pretty sharp parts inside. We removed those for him when we saw them.
We retrieved the blender's jelly bean!
He did tell me that this was the problem. :) I'll have to look into that.
