Sometimes a twist tie or superglue works better, but it's amazing how many things are fixable with duct tape.

This chart reminds me of two things...Do you know what redneck auto air-conditioning is? WD-40. Windows down, 40 miles per hour.
And...
A homemade sign Buck made for his woodworking shop. It read:
This shop protected by "G.O.D." Then, in small print, in parentheses, just below, it read "Good Old Duct Tape." The "t" wasn't included, but the point was still made.

I keep cable ties (wish I'd invented those!) on hand and have superglue in the fridge...and have lots of WD 40 (buy it in a gallon container and transfer it to a spray bottle--I swear the DH uses DW 40 as aftershave--he has three engineering degrees...) and duct tape in the basement!

If my memory serves me, didn't they they make life saving repairs on Apollo 13 with Duct Tape? But then what do I know, I am old.

Not that Sprout looks like a pug, or a dog in general, she *looks* human, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture of her in a similar pose to this. Actually, I think she might be holding a dog.

My younger daughter would make a dozen trips to the bathroom during dinner because she "really had to go". Each time, she left the table with a mouthful. We tolerated it once in a while.

Great idea! I always made sure I had a paper napkin at the table, where the icky food would be deposited, then thrown in the garbage when nobody was looking....

I cringe when I see a parent fighting with their child to eat something the child doesn't like. I want to ask the parent if they would eat liver if they didn't like it. I use liver because it is a food that most folks just don't like.
