Delayed gratification is a very important skill to teach children. I'm guessing there are a number of us in this hobby who didn't learn this skill well enough when we were young (I might include myself in this category). 3 Quote Link to comment

Addinali Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 So while I was at work today the boys decided to make a sand tornado in the tank and redo the whole rock scape while my wife was in the shower. I fixed it back there new rock scape was interesting but it would not be functional in any way. 3 Quote Link to comment
