shouldn't i be impressed?  One of the (many) things I adore
about my husband is that he's an Eagle Scout, and he's awesome
about it. He's introduced a lot of good boy-scouty things into
my life - things like the giant first aid kit in the closet and
a penchant for trying to be on time. A lot of his scout
learnings and habits line up well with my inner 1950s Housewife.
Plus, I think the housewife kinda has a crush on the grown up
boy scout.  While you and I may have a pretty good impression of
what a boy scout 'is,' I'm learning that there are different
kinds of scouts. Ultimately, boy scouts are BOYS, so I try to
discern between 'scouts being boys' and 'boys pretending to be
scouts.' Brian is definitely 100% boy and also 100% scout. He's
conscientious (help the old lady across the street kind of
thing) without being a brown-noser. He's really good with ropes
and even bungee cords - he can rig up anything needing
rigged...and when I asked him to show me some things, he made a
lasso and started roping me around
