You know you fence too much when you are hiking through the woods looking at piles of bear poop along the trail and thinking, “If a bear attacks, I can use my hiking stick to keep him away with clever counter attacks”.

Then you think, “But wait! I’m climbing Bearfence Mountain, so the bears here already know how to fence…….”

You know you love us - that's why you couldn't leave!

YKYFTM when someone looks at your arm in concern, asking if everything is alright and you respond - oh yeah, no worries I'm not really left-handed, so my distance terrible and my parries have no strength.

They continue to look concerned.

You know you fence too much that when you’re asked to say grace at the dinner table, you reach out to hold the hands of the people on either side of you, bow your head and say,

“En garde….”

Our twelve-year-old son did this. It was a LONG time before our family could stop laughing to really say grace...
