Clifford's First Knife

This evening Pete decided to give Clifford his very first knife. (And if anyone is worried about this, the knife will ALWAYS be put up from Clifford unless we go on a backpacking trip or he asks us to use it while sitting on the patio with supervision. And he knows to never open the knife without asking Pete or me first). When Pete was done talking with Clifford on the set rules for the knife, Clifford came outside to where I was sitting and proudly showed me what his dad had just given him. He then continued to tell me the 'rules' that have been set in place for him. After finding some sticks, he asked Pete if he could use his knife. Clifford sat in his little camping chair on the patio for the longest time whittling at his sticks. And he constantly kept thanking Pete for his new knife, and would tell everyone we knew who would walk past our patio about his new knife. And so beings the new set of adventures with Clifford :)
