If you have two girls studying the Civil War and you assign them Freedom Train, a Harriet Tubman biography, along with The Perilous Road, and Turn Homeward Hannalee, what do you suppose you'd get for a response?

If you have two boys studying the Civil War and you assign them a Harriet Tubman biography to read, along with The Perilous Road, and Turn Homeward Hannalee, what do you suppose you'd get as a response?
Well, forget the lamenting. That lasts all of five minutes. Instead, you get daily Civil War reenactments in your home, executed with exactness and gusto. And as you carry your laundry basket pass the warring factions--Confederate and Union soldiers--you'll scratch your head with your free hand, wondering just what God was thinking when he crafted the male brain and psyche.
Cus' it sure ain't anything you'll understand.
Dare I say it?
Boys will be boys.
