My son...

I was over my sons house helping him install vinyl siding, (I have all the tools & equipment left from when I did that to make a living), I mentioned I would have to find the time to go through my weed wacker as I could not get it started (yet).
Tonight he dropped off a new Homelite for me, told me to bring my old one over, and he would fix it up for his sisters boyfriend!
I am sitting here kind of in a daze, I guess he is turning out OK.

    Sometimes they do grow up and learn to be people, don't they. Congrats on the raising job.[:)]

    Sounds like he's finally seen some potential in you and
    he didn't give up on you! LOL

    It IS amazing how WE seem to get more intelligent as THEY
    get older!

    Twain was right![:D][:D][:D]

    My son is nine and he has a whole menagerie of snakes, frogs and turtles living in the garage and the laundry room. He found two tiny turtles about a week ago and had them in a plastic box in the garage.

    We usually leave the garage door open during the day. yesterday he came out into the garage and saw a * crow sittting next to the box with one of the turtles in its mouth. The crow turned around and flew off with the turtle.

    I heard my son screaming from the other end of the house and i thought he broke his arm or something. he was furious screaming and crying at the crow. he went for his BB gun and immediately started hunting crows. he now hates crows and tells me he's going to shoot everyone he can.
