PSA: My kid's broken toy last week made me see loops in a new way

My son's remote control car stopped turning left, and I had to check each wire connection one by one. I was doing the same thing over and over, and it hit me that this is exactly what a 'for' loop does in code. I was manually running the loop instead of letting the computer do it. Has anyone else had a simple moment like that where a coding concept just clicked from real life?

But isn't a for loop more like checking all the wires at once?

Man, I hope you at least got paid overtime for being the computer.
