I guess it's a boy thing!

I think it has to be a "Y gene" thing... boys and "weapons".  No matter what you do or how they grow up, boys just have this "inner knowledge" of weapons. lol.  How do they know about guns when they've never really seen them or been around them?  Caleb found Blake's power converter for work.  (I guess that's what it's called... it plugs into the cigarette lighter and gives him 2 outlets rather than one.  See, even I don't have a clue what the heck this thing is. I had to ask Blake.)  So Caleb found the power thing and was waving it around and shouting "pshoo, pshoo, pshoo!"  How does he even know what a gun looks like, let alone what to do with one?!  He's never seen a gun in real life or even on a movie.  And yeah I know - he has older siblings so that's probably the answer, but they're not really into guns.  Michael has some Nerf guns which is where he probably learned it I guess.  But it just surprised me that he picked up on it so intuitively when he really hasn't had any exposure to guns.  How does he know what noise to make?  And how does he even make a noise like that?  lol.  It reminds me of the time when we wouldn't allow Nathan and Michael to have swords at all so they resorted to taking the blind cords off my blinds to have a sword fight.  Or the time they bit their cheese slices into the shape of guns.  (Roll my eyes here.)  I guess it's just a boy thing!  lol.
