Helping the boy put together a rocket for his 4H project. I swear the boy has brain damage. Has no concept of a little bit of glue goes a long way. Used half a tube to glue two wings on. Needless to say they didnt hold with that much glue.
What, you're going to tell me you never did that? Even Bill Watterson did that, and then did a famous Calvin and Hobbes strip about it...and that man's a freakin' genius.
Don't be picking on the too-much-glue crowd, man.
By the time I was his age I had probably put together a 100 model cars or more. These kids dont have the patience to do that anymore.
I have a friend who refurbishes old guns. Not a gunsmith by training, but very, very good at it. Anyway, we were out in his shop looking at some of his work, and I turned around and he had an entire wall storing model kits. Like he bought out a hobby store or something. All unopened, and often six or seven of the same kit. And all the big Japanese brand names - the good stuff. The ten-year-old in me about fainted.
