Should Children be allowed to spin socks?

'real poi'
you might want to run for cover

Why? They are learning faster than me. And by REAL I mean chains, straps, and quick links. With SOFT PRACTICE balls on the endz. How irreponsable do you think I am?? Wait don't answer that.

sock poi are real poi
grrrr

I would have to say that socks are socks and poi are poi and kids are yummy to eat (after you cook them) but "real" poi are only found in New Zealand unless you smuggle some out and then you better not advertize cuz the Mauri are a warrior people and they got boats and can travel to find ya.

real poi sock poi OH no!!

I should rename this thread :
Sockpoi: Fact or Fiction!!

Maori had 50 words for rain

Yeah they do seem a little defensive 'bout the sock thing.

But to really answer the topic.

I think kids should spin if they want to. I would never force a kid, but I think that encouaging them is great. Most kids I know who have parents that spin want to try it also. It helps build coordination in kids. Gives them a possitive creative outlet. Gets them away from TV. It is a good form of exercise, to get rid of that fat that sitting in front of TV and eating junk food build. It can be a huge boost to the kids ego. Most of all it gives the kids something to do with the parent. It helps the kid feel involved with the parents hobbie.

Yep I totally agree

Funny this discussion has ended up here though cos this was originally a parody of that *other* thread (about should kids spin with )

and was all about how BAD it is for them!!

Hey Cantus chill puppy
