What is it with boys?
"Kevin Karplus" wrote in message
... The Pitsco catalog has a nice model trebuchet to build. It is a bit difficult for a 7-year-old, but should be doable by a 10-year-old. A 7-year-old has no trouble firing it, if an adult helps build it. It fires bits of clay (about 2 gram balls) and should please the kids enthusiatic about medieval weaponry without getting into blood-and-guts play. Thanks. DS would be thrilled with something like that. I think it would be a good science project too [we homeschool]. I will point husband in that direction and see what develops! -Aula |

What is it with boys?
Yup, mine sure did (and do) similar things. I'm the mom of three, two
sons and a daughter, now 13, 10 and 6. I can remember when my middle child, a boy, was 3 or 4. We were out somewhere and he was riding in the stroller. You have to picture what an sweet angelic looking creature he was - big blue eyes, rosy cheeks, pale blonde hair. An older lady came by and was admiring him (I can't recall what she said, but something innocuous like "Aren't you a fine looking boy?". He turned to me and said in a loud voice "I don't like that lady. I'd like to chop her with a sword! Argh. Earth open and swallow me now! I still can't get over the difference between my sons and my daughter. Whole different animals. Not better or worse, just wholly another planet. Mary G. |
