But you said the secret word - he is a MALE. So many of those male creatures have to 1) touch it to see if it is really sharp, 2) touch it to see if it's hot, 3) kick it to see if it moves, 4) taste it to see if it's as good as it looks, 5) . . . you have the idea. Alas, you have a 11 year old. It will only get worse. (from a mother who knows!) Sara
