Having observed my child want to break things since he was only a few months old, I've come to believe it might just be part of human nature to destroy things.

That sounds cynical, but I don't mean it that way. If we didn't continually strive to challenge the limits of our might and power, we probably wouldn't be where we are today.

Part of challenging our limits is precisely empirically evaluating the question "is it within my physical power to break this thing?"

And nature gives us a little kick out of it, to make sure we try.

Walking through the store, they sell these whole, fried corn tortillas. Like, for a tostada. They come in a stack in a bag.

Every time I see one, all I want to do is take one of those stacks and crush it. I haven't ponied up the $3 just to take one home and do it, but the urge is there just the same.

Buy them for a meal, forget them in your pantry, crush them when you remember them and they're already expired. Repeat if you managed to eat them before expiration.

This is how I accidentally fulfilled my childhood dream of crushing an entire bar of sliced bread to its minimum expression.
