51 Things a Boy should Know How to do

 Due to the vast number of people googling this topic and finding my site, I felt that I should pass on what I learned as a boy. Some of these were taught to me and others I learned by necessity. They are in no particular order and no in-depth research was performed to compile this list. It is in no way comprehensive and I would love for you to add to it in the comment section. Enjoy. (That is my dad and me in the photo. He taught me most of these things.)
