He Said She Said: The Wife Can Supply Her Son With Knitting Goods
Boys Just Wanna Have Fun
Wow, our last Great Debate we had quite a while ago, and we never posted the results. Unfortunately I took another beating. I never thought so many people would support my son in becoming a knitter. I bought him Legos for his birthday, but I may purchase a knitting kit and some My Little Ponies for Christmas based on the results of the vote. I guess people think it is ok for him to get in touch with his feminine side. I have been struggling to make sense of this logic, but I have identified some positive things about having a son who knits:
- He can always stay inside with grandma and keep her company while the other kids are outside doing uncool stuff like playing football, running around, and chasing girls
- If his friends ever tear their pants at school, he can swoop right in and mend them
- Instead of purchasing a truck, video game, or baseball cards for his friends’ birthday parties, he can make them some cute mittens or booties and probably be the talk of the event
- While other kids are wasting time on sports, he and his mom will be up-to-date on all the latest gossip shows and soaps while they knit family blankets together
- Parents no longer need to worry about hearing rap or rock blasting in the house. Instead they will enjoy the pleasantries of Kenny G, Wham, Elton John, and on really crazy days, a little Air Supply
I believe that these are just a few of the many factors that helped you decide which way to vote. Congratulations to The Wife on another well deserved victory.

Maybe he can join the Punk Rock Knitters! or sell his creations at the Renegade Craft Fair.
