Preparedness

Elijah is currently wearing 8-10 various knives, all dangling from his belt, jingling everytime he moves. He just bought himself a "hobo" knife that includes a knife and a spoon. He opted out of normal silverware for Christmas dinner and used his hobo silverware instead. He is now mentioning carrying a rope with him at all times. I asked him where it would hang and he pointed to a small opening on his crowded belt...right below his spine. He also mentioned how he would soon be stocking his backpack with an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) at all times. Later that evening I heard him say, "My mom and dad won't even let me wear a bullet proof vest!"
