One of my Japanese kids, a boy of 11, made a gun out of chopsticks. He and his dad did it together. It shoots rubber bands. It's pretty ingenious, I think, with a trigger and everything! I still don't get the whole "male fascination with guns" thing, though. I asked him, "Why do boys like guns so much?" and he said, "So we can kill people." And then he shrugged his shoulders, like he didn't know why he wanted to kill someone.
Male readers, can you explain this phenomenon? I realize that not all men like guns, and that some women do like them, but for the sake of this argument, I'm going to go with the dreaded stereotype. If you don't respond, I'll hunt you down.
