TechBear,

You misunderstand me. I have never had a little boy or girl ask "The Question". Being at a kindergarten class is somewhat like being with wild animals, they are unpredictable! They run around, grab at you, knock you over, try to crawl under you, and a host of other frenetic activities. It's not that they are bad, they are children. They have 50 times the energy that we do and the attention span of a mayfly. When around young children it is better safe than sorry.

Cheers
