At 5.5 years old, Benjamin does not stop to amaze me (almost on the daily) when it comes to his critical thinking and problem solving skills that just flow so naturaly out of him.
We have a yard sign that is held up with an h-stake. For a few weeks, the bottom cross bar of the h-stake has been broken, so the sign has been leaning. Every couple of days, we adjust the sign, only for it to start leaning within hours.
The other day, Norm had pulled the entire sign out of the grass to mow the lawn. So Benjamin and I went to put it back together only for it to start leaning immediately.
So I mentioned to Benjamin how we need a new sign holder (which we actually went to the store last weekend to purposely purchase a new sign holder and we walked out with everything but the sign holder...). Benjamin casually looks and me and says "why don't you just flip it over?"
I was confused for a minute and then realized what he was telling me.
So we flipped it over and eneded up with the broken cross bar at the top and a sturdy bottom part.
