He's TOO YOUNG! No way would I introduce, except in carefully moderated and monitored excerpts, MOAB posts to a 12-year-old! He would too soon become addicted and spend all his time rhyming and posting. This threat, in fact, is related in these words by Meredith Wilson, modified of course for the musical but originally written as shown below:

And all week long, your Pocatello youth'll be fritterin' away
I say, your young men'll be fritterin'
Fritterin' away their noontime, suppertime, choretime, too
Post for that big number
Never mind gettin' dandelions pulled or the screen door patched
or the beefsteak pounded
Never mind pumpin' any water 'til your parents are caught
with a cistern empty on a Saturday night and that's trouble
Oh, ya got lots and lots o' trouble
I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers shirttails,
young ones peekin' into Mudcat after class
Ya got trouble, folks, right here in Pocatello
with a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'B' and that stands for "Bee-Ess"

Oh, we got trouble
Right here in Pocatello
Right here in Pocatello
With a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'B' and that stands for "Bee-Ess"
That stands for Bee-Ess
We surely got trouble
We surely got trouble
Right here in Pocatello
Right here

Gotta figure out a way to keep the young ones
moral after school
