nah babe, i had one of these as a lil baby and this is the very first time i’ve even considered comparing it to a cash register! i never played shopkeeper, but i DID get a really solid grasp of/interest for mechanical shit from this and other toys. and now i make/repair jewelry and clocks for a living!

Yeaah, felt kinda' awkward about how my brain snapped to that comparison while reading it this morning, think it correlated this with some other, mostly unrelated thoughts.

That sounds like a really cool way to earn a living! I'm genuinely happy that you've discovered that in yourself!
