Conversation Over B-Day Breakfast for TD

Scene: Family of five, two adults, one rugged twelve-year old boy and two young girlie-girls. All sitting down, waiting for breakfast to be served.

Man to Rugged Boy: “Son, would you like to go to the sporting goods store and check out some pocketknives?”

Girlie Girl #1: “Ooh, I want a pocketknife!”

Girlie Girl #2: “Hey, can I have a knife too?!”

Rugged Boy (with slightly sheepish smile): “Um, yeah… do you think we could go to the craft store instead?”

Woman to all: “Wow.”

End Scene.

Hey, nothing wrong with craft stores, and even girlie-girls need a good pocket knife.

I grew up in an all-girl family, but luckily, even though I was the girlie-girl one, Dad was able to recruit all of us in various aspects of “manly” activities…

I hope my son is good in crafts, so I’m finding this a good thing!
