During our last camping trip, my 12 year old came back to the campsite after being out with my SFA. Said he whangged his shin with the blunt end accidentally.

Yeah, right....

I let him "get away" with his story until marshmallow roasting/barley pop time that night. "How did you know how it really happened?" he asked. Well, you see I was his age when I learned a valuable lesson too - don't be stabbing logs with a pocket knife, if it doesn't have a locking blade.

Learning experiences.
