Apparently they've been watching re-runs of Elmer Fudd or something because they got really excited about snapping the thing in half to load it up as if it were "Wabbit Season". As soon as they spotted it on the store shelf, Connor and Nick were unloading their pockets and pooling their money together to buy it.
Before we even got to the parking lot the boys had the thing torn out of the box and had it loaded and ready to go just in time for a shooting spree inside my car-- which I might note, made for a lovely drive home. If lawmakers think cell phones are the number one distraction for drivers they need to think again. They've obviously never tried to navigate a car while it's "Air Warrior" passengers were engaged in "double barrel dart blasting" practice.
When I got back to the house, I picked up the box the boys had carelessly discarded inside my car and I noticed this little warning printed on a small area on the back of the box:
Apparently the makers of our fine new shotgun DO NOT have any experience raising boys. If they had, they would know these warnings highlight the exact reasons why kids like Connor and Nick love to buy stuff like this.
...Meanwhile, the people and animals mentioned in DO NOT #1 have all run for cover until target practice is over or, blessed be, when all the darts have been safely lost--whichever comes first.
Have they broken rule number two yet? It just won't feel complete for me until they do.
ReplyDeleteDaish-
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, number 2 just got violated. Seems my little "wabbit hunters" have indeed lost all the "foam darts provided" and had to IMPROVISE. We're calling all the miscellanea they load it with "IED"'s. And that is never good cause you're never sure if they'll backfire or shoot in a strait path. But rest assured, my little rule breakers have broken 1-6!
They need to substitute the word "Warning" for the word "Challenge" on that box.
