However, Thing One and Thing Two used their Christmas money to buy new Nerf guns. I have to admit Nerf guns have always seemed safe since the orange, foam bullets are fairly harmless and bounce easily off of furniture, dogs and small children. In fact, I have gotten used to sitting on the couch reading or working on the laptop as the darts zoom past my head.
That being said, the new Nerf guns are pretty scary, like in "you'll shoot your eye out", scary. We aren't talking one and done shots like when Stud Boy was just a wee lad, but these rapid fire puppies hold a zillion darts! Gone are the days of "single fire mode", now it's called "slam fire mode". These bad boys have magazines that hold dozens and dozens of bullets. Launching an all out assault on your twin just got that much easier with fully automatic blasters with spare clips so you can reload in a hurry!
These spectacular displays of force have converted my living room into a battlefield littered with foam darts. The question is, how do I get the boys to scurry around and pick up the bullets when the war is over?
Maybe if I stop shooting all the squirrels, I could design Nerf darts to look like little acorns and train the rodents to do the job!
Yes, this is what your Christmas money paid for.
Bigger is better!
The arsenal.
The spare arsenal.
And in my defense, the dining room looks like this because if I move off the couch, I would be shot.
Darling Daughter = cool. 'nuff said!
