Chloe and Noah are discussing their friend Sam, who is excellent at DIY and carpentry. Chloe says, "Woodworking and DIY come naturally to boys. That's why Sam is so skilled at fixing and building things." Noah disagrees, saying, "No, it is because boys are given construction toys like building blocks and encouraged to help with manual chores from a young age. That's why he is so good at it."
