The inimitable face of Criminal Christmas cheer.

For Christmas, I bought bolt cutters for all the Reetz men.

    I wonder what the little kid has already had time to cut!

    What did the Reetz women get?

    What little boy lacks mischief? ; )

    If there is one thing I want to give Ben (or any little kid) it is knowledge of the plasticity of things — that even hardened bolts cleanly cleave under the right pressure. I want him to know that locks, doors, and do-not-open stickers are a choice and not a mandate.

    And besides, it will make a funny story when I’m no more than a memory. ; )

    What did the Reetz women get?
    Yarn, music, photographs…

    He’s already a bit advanced for bolt cutters. I’m thinking maybe a sledge is more his speed. Birthday present, maybe.

    I will have to think about what to give the women. }|{ had the outstanding idea to give Ben’s mom a bucket of bolts…

    Agreed.

    Will is getting into the action too…
    Next Christmas you can get me yarn again. I don’t have the need for tools. Maybe I’ll make you a red headed battle bonnet so that you can have battles with friends.

    Well, I had thought about getting you a little precision-ground wire cutter and screwdrivers to work on your guitars…
