Six year old A might have a future as a technical writer. Do you agree? Take a look at her written notes for how to turn on my TV and adjust the volume (while Auntie is still asleep in the morning). I think she describes the process quite clearly.

All of us who have that genius ability to figure out how things work and use them to our advantage must start somewhere. I used to take things apart to see how they ran. For many years I was much better at taking them apart than getting them back together
Looks like the work of a genius. Probably inherited from the parents...
No doubt, A!
The end to the story is that my local PBS station only shows children's shows on Saturday until 9am, so A didn't really use the TV anyway. She apparently wasn't interested in watching Victory Garden, and I couldn't interest her in Richard Scarry either.
