The closet pole came out of its brackets. There's no word on how long Evie worked on this problem before she called her father to help. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop laughing long enough to do anything else. (via Digg)
That reminds me of when my youngest daughter was about the same age and trying to pound in a nail by holding the hammer handle right under the head. I kept telling her she was doing it wrong, but she couldn't see that there was a whole foot of handle below her hand. When she finally caught on I told her that she just progressed through thousands of years of primate tool development in a few minutes.
Good Dad; helps her, but she ultimately solves it on her own.
