Oh, dear

While I work on making a mermaid tail for a customer, Jason and Liza are downstairs playing homo erectus, living in a cave and using "torches" (orange scarves rubber-banded to tinker toys rods) to scare away the wild animals. If I'm hearing correctly, Jason erectus has just invented tinker toy caltrops to help keep the aligators away from the cave.

See, this is why we're homeschooling. Bet they don't play cave man in public school ... and they certainly don't teach Caltrops Assembly 101 in kindergarten.

Next up - cooking your own steak on a stick over an open flame! Just kidding ... I think.
