I'm over 50 (!) and have young friends who play video games for hours on end. I tell them if they spent that much time knitting they'd have something beautiful in the end. And then they ask me to knit socks for them - I don't think so! btw - I received my Venus de Milo bag the other day and it was the hit of the office. It took some people a few minutes, but then they laughed like crazy.

The son of a friend of mine managed to change the message tone on my phone to something he liked - he's 8 - and it took me months to figure out how to turn it off.
