Gosh out of the mouth of babes. I know what the young man is saying and not
making a joke out of it. I have a teenager male(16) who just earlier this
week came into the house to aks me where the socket wrench is. No to me this
was kinda a waste of time, being I was upstairs in the computer room. Of
course I did tell him they aren't kepped in the house might want to try the
garage, might find them there. Wonder what happened to imagination, can't
have died due to ganga toking I know that for sure. Oops letting my hippie
side out.
