How to Read a Tape Measure

BOYS! As a girl, I just shake my head in confusion about how boys think.

Our son Josh loved to tear a part things and put them back together. I can’t tell you how many times Jeff and I would go to bed at night and tell Josh, “Please don’t electrocute yourself or burn the house down while we’re a sleep. “  He always had a project going in his room. We’ve got lots of stories and I’m glad he made it to adulthood with only a couple ER trips.

God wired boys to think differently, and I’m glad He did.  When I came across this video clip I had to laugh! This is something I picture Josh doing. It takes some real engineering (and too much free time) to be able to do what these guys are doing. Would you ever find a girl doing this? I doubt it.

Sit back and have a laugh!

Have you ever heard of Power Tool Drag Racing? Me neither. Now my husband is way too serious minded to do things like this, but I can see where younger guys would enjoy taking apart some junk, mixing it with some other junk, then figuring out how to make it move fast enough to win a silly race (silly- because I am a woman). There is physics and engineering to be learned in this. This would be better than vegging out in front of a TV screen.
