Boy Wonder: Mom?
Me: Yes?
BW: Where do Indians get their string?
Me: Uh. I guess at the store like everyone else. Why do you ask?
BW: No, not Indians today, Indians a long time ago. For their bows and arrows.
Me: OH. Well, I�m not sure, but they may have made string from the insides of animals.
BW: Ew, gross.

BW: Mom?
Me: Yes?
BW: How did they kill the animals to get their insides if they didn�t have a bow and arrow yet?
Me: That is a very good question. Maybe they threw rocks at them.
BW: Or maybe they just threw the arrows, like a spear.
Me: Yeah! I�ll bet that�s what they did. They just used spears.

BW: Mom?
Me: Yes?
BW: How�d they tie the arrow head to the spear without string?
