I do think some of us miss the point, that what makes us happy makes them happy too.
With cell phones and email they can just about be in the tree with you.[:-]
Jeff probably won't believe this but years ago when my daughter was two or three years oldI shot a buck. Really I did.

I had it hanging in the garage and had just cut the front legs off before starting to skin it. My wife brought my daughter out to see it before she went to bed.She looked at for a minute or so andI asked her what she thought,
After a long pause she said ......"he can't get away now he doesn't have any legs"
It was a great moment.
