How did I become an engineer?

My parents came by today to drop off a bunch of my old toys and games thinking Kyle may someday use them. In doing a survey of them, it became quite obvious how I grew interested in engineering:

A 200 in one electronics lab kit: I enjoyed flip-flops that weren't worn on my feet (ok only a few of you may even get that...)

Erector sets! These were the best!

And you can't forget the ever-important Legos.

My first learning "laptop" (wish I could find the picture of me writing a Magic 8-ball game in VBASIC when I was 6-- wow, I'm a nerd)

A super-fun race-car track. Okay, so my brother beat me a lot with this toy, but it was still a lot of fun!

Amongst all these nerdy toys did lie a more "girly" item... one of the few "dolls" I owned:

I'm not sure what hope lies in Kyle not becoming a nerd given his two parents. I would consider ourselves blessed if we get a kid JUST LIKE US. :)
