I shimmied back down, went through the house, and told her where I'd been. (Hey, I was proud of being a good climber!) She didn't believe me, so I showed her.

I had almost reached the eaves when she had that privet hedge switched picked and stripped. Switched me all the way to the ground, she did!

Moms just don't understand. :???:

Funny, my mom acted the same way when my brother and I were throwing a 10in. file of dad's in the air and watching it hit the ground.

Or like throwing darts at a dartboard where your "younger" brother was standing under...

We were having William Tell dilusions...Cartoons can have an effect on you like that...

Guess what happened when one of the darts dislodged and fell off the board...

Good thing he wasn't looking up...

P.S> Whoever said...placing weapon on higher shelf does not work!....Very true...I could remember holding my Dad's WW II 1911 when I was younger in AZ as a Kid.....The only difference was that my Dad made me go through NRA safety class with him....so even as a kid was very fam with that handgun....b ut most kids are not...and we're usually not so lucky!!!
