[QUOTE="Shari, post: 497177, member: 1848"] Wee is in cub scouts. Has wanted to be forever. Part of what lit that fire was finding husband's mess kit a few years back. He loved it. husband would let him play with it, but husband was pretty protective of it, so we ended up getting Wee one of his own. Recently, two brooms has given husband his neckerchief and tie slide that she had kept. A while back she gave him his pinewood derby car. Wee just thinks this is AWESOME, because husband was a cub scout, too! He wants husband to attend all of his boy scout meetings, etc, since husband "knows about scouts". So last night was a meeting. Den leader was asking questions. husband had no clue. So I ended up figuring it out. So when we got home, I took a look at husband's stuff (he has given it to Wee). He doesn't have any badges or pins, so I figure his mom must still have them. The way they both cling to this stuff, I figured he must have been really into it. I asked. He doesn't have any. So I said "exactly how long were you in boy scouts?" "Not very". He was in less than 6 months. He has no badges or pins. He happened to join about the time they did the pinewood derby race, beyond that, all he ever did was buy the uniform and supplies... Why in the world would you hang onto that stuff like that and talk about, every time Wee has a meeting, how husband used to be a cub scout? Sheesh. Will I ever learn to not be suprised by this junk? lol [/QUOTE]
