I'm sure if you ask my weapon wielding brother, he'd tell you the correct name for this here toy gun. {Smile Josh, you're on the Internet!!}Regardless of what the proper term used for this toy, I'd like to tell it a few things:
Dear Annoying Toy Gun,
You annoy me. Really annoy me.
I hate your popping sound.
It grates on my nerves so bad I want to throw you through a window.
Too many times to count, ALL.THREE.OF.MY.CHILDREN have gotten their fingers smashed in the hammer. Oh, the howling that ensued - and that was from the 5 year old!
I won't even tell of the times you have fired & woken up my two-year-olds EARLY from their afternoon nap!
I can appreciate that you bring immeasurable joy to countless children. I know that boys {and girls, alike} have pretended to be Old West Cowboys hunting down train robbers for years & years with you on their hips. I understand that you are used on a daily basis around the world to shoot imaginary bad guys.
However, I think you understand that I must do what I have to do.
I'm sure that you feel that I am doing the unthinkable.
It is a Child's worst nightmare.
However, You must go in the trash.
Not just the trash can, but under something big in the trash can.
You know, so that when one of the kids opens it to throw something away, they can't yell out, "HEY! This isn't supposed to be in the trash!!"
You're going down, Mr. Annoying Toy Gun!
Other than snapping my finger your hammer, there's nothing you can do about it either!!
Well, maybe I'll just give you away to St. Vincent de Paul.....

Believe it or not Lindz, you will miss this toy gun, when it's abandoned for a car, girlfriend,late nights waiting for them to come home, etc......these days are so simple and so simply wonderful. enjoy, enjoy, enjoy (and ignore)This too shall pass!
