Ho! Ho! Ho! Gary here! First let me begin by saying that I’m not exactly sure what a ‘stocking’ is. I believe they were used by women in the Queen Victoria era as a way to shave their legs. Either that, or they were invented specifically for my father as a way to collect lint from the dryer vent on the side of the house. Either way, I refer to them as socks (or nylons - in my wife’s case) but we will call them stockings for this blog.
My son's birthday is one week away and I am once again left pondering what to get him. At seven years-old all he wants are video games. But I think it is important to get him something educational. He is now at the age where he wants to know how things work, so maybe an Elenco Snap Circuit set is the answer.
