🤔 What should I get the little one for her birthday? She'll be turning 7. 
 You can't go wrong with Menger's "Principles of Economics". Never to early to start 
 A fine suggestion. Do you know of any good books on botany? 
 Botany as a whole hard to say, but for self sufficient live and gardening John Seymour has a lot of comprehensive stuff 
 All the Tuttle Twin books, a 22 rifle and pistol, a non-pink toolbox filled with tools.  
 What a Beave statement 😂. The Tuttle Twin books is a good idea. As for the rifle and pistol suggestion, I think I'll just go with the pistol. Lol. Why a non-pink toolbox? 
 Learning pistol young is something I wish I could have done. 

Because most pink "gurl tools" suck and are "othering." Get her real tools and she'll be just like daddy.  
 She would really enjoy her own little .22 pistol, I think. I mean, she seems to be enjoying her self-defense training quite a bit 🤷‍♂️.

I think I'll buy her some gardening tools instead. She loves spending time in the garden. 
 That's a great idea!

She'd love a 22 pistol, I'm sure. 

Heck, I'd love one. Lol!  
 Lol. I could literally get one tomorrow. 
 Same. But... I may not need to in a while.  
 Why not get one? 
 Low fiat reserves.

Plus my priorities shifted rather drastically in the last 24 hours.  
 I'm still gettin' used to making memes. 😁
