Yes, they really can break anything....

My kids that is. I've often wondered if there is anything they can't break. I've seen them break dishes (no big feat), dressers (a bit bigger), beds (but it was an old one and they were jumping on it) and now, to prove that they really can break anything.....

Micah broke a 5 ft plus limb off our TREE today. This isn't an ill tree. It's healthy and vigorous, but it's not particularly big. According to him, he just pulled on it and it broke off. Yeah, right. I have a feeling it held his entire 55 or so pounds for a long, long time before it finally gave. Thank God he wasn't climbing the tree when this happened. We had a tropical storm last summer (Dennis) and Hurricane Katrina was just a few miles per hour shy of hurricane status when she blew through here and no damage to my little tree. That's not even mentioning the thunderstorms with straight-line winds. Leave it to Micah......
