is it bad?....

[batrev]

...My five year old can tell the difference between a leatherman and a cheapo, and can tell the wingman from the kick and those from the surge, but my fiance cant??!!

[MultiMat]

Nope that sounds just right  .

Now I hope you have a My Frst SAK for them + maybe a LM Squirt for them when they are a little older  .

I got both my lads a My First SAK +. I also have alox Soldiers from the boys birth years to give them when they are 18 or maybe 21  .

[ducttapetech]

sounds like the kids are learning good. Now about the future wife....... ...lol.
It is pretty cool got them a knife for the years they were born. It will make a cool gift for them later.

You can teach your kid right from wrong, but you can't teach a fiance anything!

...or a wife either. Especially a wife. Definitely no teaching to be done there.

Them's fightin' words.  Best hide the frying pans before you go to bed...

  True enough, no hope for the future mrs, but I already knew that got a nice little multi for the kiddo to give him in a year or 2 for his first pocket knife. Gonna be the only cubscout rockin the multi  "be prepared" indeed

Be careful- the Scouts are banning knives on camping trips.  Check with your Scoutmaster before letting your kid get in serious trouble.

Teach a wife, out of the question

When I got my puppy I was reading a book about training. It said that it's best to make your dog think that it discovered the right thing to do on its own. Didn't work so well with the pup, but has worked wonders with the wife

[Lynn LeFey]

Mmmm... nope, not one bit of sexism here. No-sireee.

You know my hubby has about as much interest in MTs as your wives, and I don't assume any kind of deficiency... except in the 'mechanical inclination' sense.

There's 'can be taught' and 'gives a smurf'. There's a big difference.

EDIT: 'smurf'? Huh... that's some smurfed up stuff right there.

[Grant Lamontagne]

I thought it would be funny to set the forum censor to change all bad words to "smurf."  It's great to see guys go on a rant and it's smurf this and smurf that with a ten foot smurf. 

Then one of the Brit mods added a bad word that made it even funnier.  Now I can't say anything about salsmurfer or wrissmurfches without cracking up!

[Lynn LeFey]

I think it's smurfin' excellent.

[batrev]

 In the slightly edited words of my old boss Super Dave... smurf it.

I can't stand giving my wife a knife.  She holds it like a dirty diaper and I am just terrified she is going to slice herself open with it.  Any knife, doesn't matter what brand or shape.  She almost amputated a finger with a micra.  I'm scared Bob, does it ever get better? 

I want to build her a BOB, but I don't know if I should put a nice fixed blade in there or a helmet.   

She would kill me if she read this.  She's in medical and sees and handles horrors that I can't even stomach, but the girl is mechanically retarded. 

[Grant Lamontagne]

My wife is the same way.  She's terrified of blood.  She was chopping vegetables last week when I heard her swear and stop cutting, then run to the sink and start running water.  I had a pretty good idea of what happened, but when I got there it was barely a paper cut sized scratch, and she wouldn't even look at it until I dried it off and put a band aid on it.

Gentlemen, really, a woman who does not know how to or does not like to use a knife....

How does she cook then??


 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Mostly by leaving a great mess in the kitchen for me to clean up.

As long as it isn't a great bloody mess, you should be thankful
