I wonder if today's boys are learning to use their hands at all. If they spend their free hours manipulating game controllers, phones and joysticks (or are joysticks obsolete) when to they learn fine motor control?

I asked my sister-in-law, a Scout leader, at one age a kid could be expected to thread seed beads (about 1/16th inch across) on a necklace. She said, "If it's a girl, age ten. A boy, age 12." What!? The boys have lost two years, and they're not even in their teens.

Don, no wonder you get so much respect around here. If anybody messes with you, you whip out your fencing foil.
