Daddy's little helper

I grew up in a house hold that if something broke, that was how it was going to stay (sorry Dad).  It is still a shocker that J.R. has abilities.  I know that it shouldn't, but it does.  My vacuum has had a rather bald spot in the cord.  In the last couple of months, it has started sparking.  Singeing skin.  Blowing circuits.  Scaring the be-jezzy's out of me.  Then, it gave up the ghost, but not before leaving a scorch mark on my rug.  I thought I was going to be buying a new vacuum (which is not a bad thing . . . ?).
But, no, I'm married to a handy man.  Who comes complete with a handy daughter.
 Here is Amelia explaining what Dad should be doing.
 "Like this, Dad.  Like this . . . ."

Can you see it?
 Amelia decided to tell EVERYBODY what happened.  Mom 'may' have inflicted a boo-boo, and I was going to ease Dad into it when he got home.  He walked in, and the very FIRST thing she did was this pose.  Mila and I need to have a talk about keeping secrets.  It doesn't show up on film, but this was a real doozy.  And accidental (in case that hadn't been clear!).
