My mom thought it would be cute if she put a garfield magnet on my box. My poor box that I spent 3 years building and begging people for parts. Ruined by a random scattering and reorganization of electrons. My dad thought it would be cool if he suprised me with a new processor. He forgot to put the cooling fins on it, and it melted onto the chipset before i could turn the machine off. At least your mom didn't do anything destructive.
