My 12 year old son concieved of and constructed this puzzle, but I'll take credit for it:)

Apparently, 12-year-old boys and I don’t think alike. I am stumped!

[2] Can't the "scouts" in your family help us out?

[5] He would, except he's in school right now! My first thought was that as soon as I show him tonight, he'll say "Geez, Mom, that's SO obvious!" (He's 13)

[6] Isn't it time for you to pick him up to go to the "dentist" or something?? ;-)

[7] I wish - but I already took him out of school yesterday to go to a baseball game!

This is WAY more important than a baseball game!

Somebody must have a 12 year old around - two people have solved.

I must still be stuck in my 12-year-old mentality. It wasn't my first guess, but it clicked for me. Count is important. Background is not part of solution, just related to the solution.

[11] Thank you! Something finally clicked in my inner child.

[11] Ahhhh . . . it's actually quite clever.
Might have been a bit easier if it had been published next month instead.

Oh, for heaven's sake! I feel really dumb now that it took me that long to figure it out. It really IS quite clever. Especially when you take the age of the puzzle maker into consideration! Kudos to your son Brupop!

[13] Next month, we'll use 8 bears or 8 shivering cats.

despite being the combined age of three 12 year olds, I'm attracting nothing but crickets. I can't get "8 cat heads in a circle" down to one word.
ahhh... post & solve. clever

[13][14][15][16][18][19]Thank you. It's always nice to hear from others that my kid is clever.
BTW, I hear he's cute as well;)

I just never get OWW's. Even easy ones that are created by a 12 year old.

Well, it wasn't cadets. I know I know! What a stretch.

There's a nice sprinkling of salt in [13] and [17] (should get you the first four letters) and [23] (hints to the whole answer, minus "sy"; some call her Miss Galore).
