Safeguarding the Narjala household goods


Yohan has been taking his Explorer role rather seriously, and is in every nook and cranny pulling out wires and whatever other stuff he can find. Our home entertainment setup was a little too tempting, and Susan found herself having to physically extricate him from its immediate surroundings many, many times a day. After a lot of fruitless searching for a TV stand with doors that would fit the area, I spent some time over the weekend adding some plexiglass doors to the existing stand. Was quite proud of the finished product - it even had a magnetic latch and all! (As an aside, these rudimentary skills were acquired by many hours of watching my dad do household projects as we were growing up).

In any case, we figured this would be enough to keep the Explorer out of this - at least for a while. Sad to say, that isn't the case. The very next day Susan calls me at work to report that he has figured out how to open it; and knowing the construction, I now fear for its structural integrity if he decides to exert extended pressure on aforementioned doors. Some more beefing up in the securing-doors-closed department is probably on the agenda.
