What do little boys need?

Matthew has a beloved blue tape measure - the kind that retracts with the push of a button. We got it at the 100 Yen store a while ago. And also a while ago he got his blue tape measure taken away because he and Anna were bonking each other on the heads with them (Anna has a pink one).
On occasion he will ask for his tape measure back. Today he asked again several times and I said no. Then he said this...

"Mom, I tell you what. Sometimes boys need their blue tape measures."

It made me laugh so much that I relented and gave them their tape measures back as long as they committed to no head bonking. So far, so good.

That is true, sometimes a boy just needs his tape measure :). Anna looks really cute in that picture, I definitely think there is a family resemblance, because she looks a lot like Emily and Ruth.
