Ah, but they are also a constant source of amusement! Like taking a
three year
old to his first battlefield and having to actually drag him away! Or,
seeing
the rifled muskets in a display case, he points to them and cries, "I
want a
Hogarth!" (This only really makes sense if you've seen the movie "Iron
Giant",
but the kid's blunderbuss shaped air gun has his name on it, and the
kid's
name is Hogarth.)
