Legos. Legos can solve anything. Legos teach kids to think, and to problem solve, and to be creative, and to use their hands. Kids these days have crappy 1 kinda build legos, where it's only supposed to make one thing. No more imagination. Hell- I have a cousin (granted, he's autistic) that loves "playing" with the toys, but wants nothing to do with putting them together. I've more than once put together a lego set for him so he can get his play on. Where's the thought and exploration in that?

In reply to nderwater:
Outside of a crisis situation, whenever I get asked to do something that isn't in my day to day responsibilities, I always follow it with a meeting to find out why the people responsible can't do it. Process change and RACI documents drive me nuts, but it is usually worth it in the end.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this: "It isn't my job" isn't the best response, but there are times when it is a perfectly justifiable attitude to have in order to fix something that is broken.

AND on top of that, it stops things from becoming YOUR responsibility over time as YOU are the person always doing it. Job creep is a bitch.
