'How did that happen?' I mused to my other half, because I sure as sh*t didn't buy them for him.
According to him, they have been brought as presents at various birthdays from various adults in his life.
So, the question is: who the hell buys toy guns as presents any more?
The days of innocent little boys playing Cowboys and Indians are SO over, and despite the fact that Ireland thankfully doesn't have the same gun culture as places like The States, I am still not down with my young son 'shooting' other kids for playtime.
I would much rather he plays football, goes on searches for pirate treasure, builds a Go-cart, rolls down a few mucky hills with his friends, than pretend to KILL them.
The toy guns are no longer with us.
They ended up on neither the 'Keep' nor on the 'Charity Store' list, and good riddance to them.
