A 12-year old boy can definitely make you tear your hair out...well, you know what I mean, but then here in the Fun Department we send them to the pond with a pail of worms, a cooler, and a good old top of the line bamboo pole from the rolled up carpeting, a hook, line, bobber and sinker, where they can row out in the rowboat with their life vests on and fish until they catch supper for the lounge.
All in all it makes for a fun day for them and they have something to show for their trouble.
