He graciously gave me permission to re-post it on the Wreck.

Thanks for that. It made me thankful for 3 girls. There's never been
anything in my shop they have ever wanted rub into their hair or onto
their faces.

I did assist a friend's church group on a few occasions and found the
big-eyed 9 -10 year old 'men-to-be' very inquisitive, grabby, rough
and ill behaved. I loved it. They _did_ find things to rub into their
hair and onto their faces. They smelled different, especially after
one of them started a farting competition.

I helped some of them put that propellor on their clocks.. don't ask.

I now wish I had spent more time like that.

Thanks for that flashback.

r---- who thinks Jeff Thunder is a very funny guy.



We raised 4 sons, all the way through Scouts. Three got to Eagle, the
other one got to be a state-level swimming champion and a Life Scout. I
slept on enough rocks as a Scout leader to build an East coast mountain
range. They turned out OK, and Advil takes care of most of the lasting
effect on their old man.

Jeff Thunder _is_ a very funny guy, and Brother Watson has many more
fine experiences coming his way. Hope he keeps writing!
