A lesson on the importance of encouraging your children with their projects
This sort of story makes me sad. We don't have a tree house, we don't even have a tree. We don't have money to spend at the DIY store to keep the house in shape never mind making checkers boards for fun. I thought I was getting pretty good at quenching the covetousness that society seemed to have imbued me with but when one realises that stuff is needed for many uplifting experiences.<p>Realising the great joy certain things brought me as a kid and realising that those things are beyond the reach of my kids ... Gah.<p>A happy story made me sad; I'm too easily depressed.<p>Aside: email games seems really retro.
