My kid called my workbench a 'magic table' and it got me thinking

I was fixing a chair leg in the garage last weekend and my six year old came in to watch. She pointed at my bench, covered in stains and drips from twenty years of projects, and said, 'Daddy, your magic table makes old things new again.' I've always just seen it as a messy work surface I need to clean. But hearing her say that made me look at every dent and paint splash differently. Now I see a record of every piece I've brought back to life. Has anyone else had a simple comment change how you see your shop or tools?

Yeah, my nephew said my old drill looked like a robot. Now I can't unsee it, and I kind of like the dents and scratches. Makes it feel like it has a story.

My blender looks like a sad robot that lost a fight.
