I would love him just the same. HOWEVER, at the young age of 11 I still couldn't help but be a little bit worried about it. Finally, I got up the nerve to ask him why he had chosen knitting. Imagine my pride when he told me, "Dad...duh... I chose knitting because I am hoping I am the only guy in a class full of GIRLS!!! That can be interpreted two ways, however last week he met a girl and they seem to be "going together" whatever that means. However she isn't in his knitting class, and I don't think she is too happy that he is in there with all those girls now! LOLOLOL

It would have been a lot more useful than Metal Shop turned out to be.
