Ha! Sounds like what my dad made me do a few years back. It was 'Take your Daughter to Work Day', and my dad (an A&P) says "hey, why don't you come on up to the hanger today, after all it's Take your Daughter to Work Day". I didn't have any other plans, so I did. When I got there he says "glad you're here, now roll up your sleeves, climb up on the wing of that 310 over there, stick your arm in the fuel tank and remove the part that looks like this". (He holds up some pump device) His arm was too big to fit down in the tank where he needed to get, and my skinny arm & hands were the only ones around that could reach. So much for 'quality time' with dad!
