Duct, scotch, and masking tape, or thumbtacks will do the job.

All three of these types of tape have many purposes. Thumbtacks can also be very useful. My boys, unfortunately, don’t know any of the practical and intended uses for these products. The following is a list of uses dreamed up by my resourceful boys:

1. If a little scotch tape will hold a poster on the wall securely. The entire roll will hold up any piece of trash or trinket you think will look good hanging from the wall.
2. If you cut out every magazine pitcher you find, you can basically wall paper your room. The problem is when you run out of scotch and masking tap you’ll have to use hundreds of thumbtacks.
3. Me: “Why did you rap the deodorant can with an entire roll of electrical tape?” My Son: “Well, I was bored.”
4. You can make a nice wallet for Dad out of duck tape! Of course it takes a dozen attempts and two eight-dollar rolls of duct tape, but the final product sure is nice.
5. Tape balls: now that’s a good idea! We can make tape balls and we will leave them scattered throughout the entire house. Then when mom vacuums the house she won’t see them because we will have strategically placed them in areas that get vacuumed but not seen. When the balls clog the vacuum it will cause her to work for fifteen minutes trying to pry the balls from the beater bar, only after the belt has burned in half.
6. Got an old pair of sneakers you just can’t give up? Duck tape them and you can extend their use by, oh say, ten minutes but it was a good idea at the time.
7. Fingers always need taped for some reason.
8. Anything that breaks, tape it! In fact, before it breaks you should always tape it; tape it for the hell of it!
