Re: Would you start a PP for a 6 year old?

I've given my niece and nephew a share of VT for their birthdays, they're 4 and 6. Maybe I'll change what I buy them, but I'll give them the whole thing at 18.

I just bought some I bonds. They don't really generate any excitement, but they're not going to kill you either. They're basically vegetables.

But one thing, in particular, that I've thought about recently is how *really* miserable I'd be if I had to wear a face mask for 8+ hours/day.
