Did you break your toys?
I came across this great forum post today in the Software Testing Club – http://www.softwaretestingclub.com/forum/topics/did-you-break-your-toys – about how when the writer was a young boy he would take apart his toys to see how they worked. Curiosity is often cited as one of the main traits of a tester and apparently we all do this.
It reminded me of the time as a toddler that I got hold of the mantle piece clock and took it apart piece by piece. I probably wouldn’t have managed to put it back together again anyway – even if my brother hadn’t eaten half the small clockwork parts – I was never forgiven for that!
So how many people had destroyed their Christmas presents before Boxing Day?
