A COUPLE OF STICKS OF DUCT TAPE?

My oldest son, Bowie, is absolutely fascinated by explosives and duct tape. He loves motors and airplanes, too. He plans on becoming a missionary pilot for Mission Aviation Fellowship, which of course means he has to learn to take a plane apart and put it back together again~ with duct tape and baling wire... or chewing gum and shoe laces... or whatever happens to be on hand!

But for now, his brain is totally agog with explosives, duct tape, and practical jokes, and he strives to find a way to put them all together! For Fun!!!

He is often heard saying "well, if you had a couple o' sticks o' dynamite..." or , "no problem, just get me that roll of duct tape..."

We look at a frustrating tree stump in the yard and his answer is "a couple o' sticks o' dynamite..."

The passenger seat in our van broke (it won't sit up anymore) and his answer is "well, if we took some duct tape and..."

I bought him a shirt that says "Duct tape is like the Force, it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together!"

His favorite saying is "all you ever need in life is duct tape and WD40. Duct tape for things that are moving and shouldn't be, and WD40 for things that aren't moving and should!"

Duct tape and Sticks of Dynamite, Duct tape and Sticks of Dynamite, Duct tape and Sticks of Dynamite!

So last week he was planing a practical joke and he announced, "Dude! all I need is a shoelace and a couple of Sticks of Duct Tape!!!"
