More Teen Goodies

Long ago, at Christmas when my stepson was 14, a button came off of his shirt so he asked me for some needle and thread to put it back on. He wanted to try to do it himself. I had thread but for some reason couldn't find a needle. He thought for a moment, then reached up to the Christmas tree beside him and took a pine needle, made an eye in it with his pocket knife, threaded it and sewed the button back on! It worked quite well and his inventiveness impressed me.
