Over the last two years, my 12-year-old son has become increasingly consumed with going to the woods near our home.
But just like many other tweens, he's also asked, "Can you get me a cellphone?"
We bought him a pocket knife.
He mostly keeps the knife in his pocket when he heads outdoors, only bringing it out when a project calls for a sharp object.
As for the pocket knife, when it's not in use or at the bottom of his camo pants pocket, it stays safely displayed in his bedroom, a token of independence and ingenuity.
