Mine used to help me as well.

One particular time, my youngest was looking at a motherboard. He
started pointing out all the things on the motherboard for me.

The capacitors were concession stands so the people who were visiting
the circus could get something to eat. The PCI ports were roller
coasters, the ZIF Slot was the main tent where they kept the animals
and so on.

My wife got that one on video and I though at some point I would put
it out on the web as computer nomenclature through the eyes of a 4
year old.
