Campfire wisdom
Stick: threats to daughter of shunning grandson, kicks to liberal daughter's ass, blatantly showing preference for the other daughter.
Carrot: learning to swim is drown-proofing. Learning to shoot and gun safety is gun-proofing. Water and guns will be encountered in a boy's life. Best to know how to handle both.
This!
Swim lessons are EXPENSIVE, but I realize the value of your statement and will gladly fork it over to save their lives which hopefully will never happen.
Shooting is different, though, money is no object!
You're on the mark, they are both life savers!
