  • Boys?

    Hello There,

    In thinking about young sons I recalled one interesting trait.

    Give a young boy a hammer and he will find that everything he sees NEEDS to be pounded on. <g>

    Is that just because we are more likely to hand a hammer to a boy though?

    I can't say with certainly as I have had much more experience with boys but yes. The first thing the boys would do with their little plastic hammer was to

    pound on everything in sight. Glad I didn't start them out with a "Real" hammer. <g>

    I've known quite a few girls that have done likewise.... there's a good
    reason that toy hammers are made of soft plastic... <G>
