"Forts: A sensitive subject"
If/when I ever have children, forts would be a very sensitive subject. More specifically, the ability to build a fort.
If/when my child (of either gender, it doesn't matter) reaches the age I deem necessary to possess the knowledge and/or skill of fort construction, and they seem to "lack" this skill, I shall trade the child in for a new one or just stop feeding them until a fort appears. Cause to me, fort construction is more of an instinct rather than a learned skill.
One should be able to just build a fort on demand at a certain age. I think my dad did build the first fort in my house growing up. I, from that day forth, designed and built many forts. My dad didn't even show me how to build forts. I just walked into the room and said, "Whoa, fort?" He replied, "Yes." and that, as they say, was that. So obviously, fort construction is hereditary, much like baldness.

I've decided that, on the day of my child(ren)'s second birthday, the will be tested for water aclimation. The test will consist of me placing (read: tossing, much like a dwarftoss) into the nears body of water that has a depth greater than 4'. The child will be afforded no help in this situation until after an amount of time has passed as such to prove it's (the childs) worthiness of life.
I shall now devise a similar test for fort building. He will be tested on strength, architecture, defendability, and weathering in a live action simulation with a.... Polar Bear.
