I remember back years ago, my daughter came to visit ole dad out there in the Mo. sticks. The boy was 10 and the irl was about 4 or5 . It was Thanksgiving and the garden was done, just some old bad tomatoes and peppers. The kids went out side and played for hours with the rotted veggies dirt, rocks, horse turds, cow patties. NO the devices, no cell nothing. THe daughter was totally amazed.
I handed the 10 year old boy a pellet gun, showed him what to do and NOT do, he was entertained seemed like. I asked him IF he would like me to give him that gun. He replied " I don't care."
I told him that seemed like a bad attitude. I said IF you would like to own that, say so. IF not, just plainly say so. Say NO THANK YOU.
I further said " If you don't care, then why the F*** should I care????"
About an hour later, he came and asked if could please have the gun.
