Boys will be boys

There was a knock on my front door.
It was a small boy.
Something of his had found it's way into my garage,and he wanted it back.
When I opened the garage door,I noticed two additions,a baseball and a broken window,sporting a baseball sized hole.
"Now ,how do you suppose that ball got into my garage?"I asked.
Taking a look at the window ,the ball and a look at me ,he replied
"Wow,I must have thrown it right through that hole"!!!
I overheard my nine year old son discussing a computer simulation game with a friend.
The game involved creating a family,a house to live in,and so forth
My son.an old hand at this game,gave this warning;"Wh**ever you do,don't get any kids.They don't bring in any money,and all they do is eat!"

Better yet. Make the boy earn the return of the ball. Go to the hardware store get a new piece of glass and some window putty and get the boy and his father to come over so you can teach the boy how to do a window repair.

BB, are you being lazy, or is that you can't distinguish between Missing Link and myself
I understand, as we both are fine men in your mind, I'm sure.
