What was Nerf thinking?
What was Blog-Stedman thinking?
He brought this arsenal home prior to Ryan’s birthday.
I bought 3!
One for each boy!
Thank God my boys are well-armed against each other…
It is at times like these it is very obvious that I am a girl. I look at these things and have an appreciation for how cool they are, but it would never enter my mind to bring them into my home.
I just don’t get it.
Neither did the clerk at Wal-Mart. When Blog-Stedman was checking out with this necessities, the woman at the check-out desk took one look at them,
felt they were all nerf-y,
turned each over carefully,
admired the Nerf workmanship,
and then declared, “Someone is STILL goin’ to end up hurt.”
Yep.
I can see lamps being knocked over all over my house.
LOLO. my husband is the instigator of most of the toy weapons ’round here, not to mention the superhero cartoons, war documentaries, etc. but yesterday even he had to agree that it had become too much when our six yo said “I wish this (nerf) gun was real so I could shoot someone and kill them” and then thought it funny when I expressed that such an idea made me sad because it would mean somebody dying. Aaagh, is this how someone’s child becomes a cold-blooded maniac?
I couldn’t agree more with the Wal-mart clerk. We also have an arsenal of weapons, which my husband has purchased for our two boys. Everything always starts off fine, but within about 15 minutes someone is screaming, which is why all lightsabers and swords are now on the tippy-top shelf of my eldest son’s closet. Hopefully out of sight & out of mind.
Swords, lightsabers, sticks… it doesn’t matter whether you buy them or they find them, boys love this stuff. Me, I hate it.
I kinda like them. I want one!!!
But to give one to my sons… even though they are young. Nope not gonna happen. Or if it would go outside where I can’t hear your death screams.
I love that clerk though!
ok – LOVE that!
Just posted my potluck – if you had a Mr Linky – I would enter my link now!

Thankyouverymuch.
Wally World checkers are so wise, aren’t they?
I’m fighting the urge to shout “you’ll put your eye out!”
Which would be just odd, because Oldest is still at school and Youngest is napping, but still, it’s a strong urge.
When can we come over to play 🙂
