If you ask an eight year old boy for help in the kitchen,
expect the unexpected, because life with an eight year old boy in the house is a non stop adventure.
And yes that is what it looks like. Isn’t that how everyone opens a jar?

So, this is what I have to look forward to as my son grows up…haha! 🙂
I love this photo!
Awesome…mine just turned 8 a week ago. I guess I should start expecting the unexpected too. HA!
If that were my dad as an 8-year-old, there’d be some black powder there somewhere 🙂
Ha ha! I am here to tell you it’s not much different if it’s a 4o something year old man and he’s a dairy farmer!
We have a pair of channel locks in the drawer next to the refrigerator for just that purpose! 🙂 I like your son’s method. 😉 I’ve found that putting a thick rubber band on the lid and then turning usually work just as well though … most of the time. Finally, as the mother of soon to be 23-year old son, I’ll tell you that the adventure is just beginning. 8 is a very good age!

@Shirley @ gfe, I actually thought he was being creative and came up with a solution which is good. It was the size of the tool that he choose that I could not believe. 🙂 We do have tools smaller than that. 🙂
@Lynn, chuckling here … yep, I hear you and have experienced the same at my house. 😉

That’s the same tool 2 23 year old “boys” removed a wire from a partially frozen turkey for me once. They don’t outgrow it.
*Giggles* Love it!
