My kids like trying to startle me. But it never usually works, because I have a rather calm disposition. Yesterday, my son succeeded. Let me tell you about it.
I was practicing the Walton Viola Concerto and was in one of my intense focus modes. All of a sudden, something whizzed by my head. And it sounded like a nuclear missile!
Let's just say, it's a darn good thing I didn't drop my viola, or my boy would've been in even bigger trouble!
"What was it?" you ask. A Nerf bullet launched from my son's new Mega Nerf gun. And I kid you not, the sound that thing makes whistling through the air, is just like a missile!
Needless to say, he won't be playing with the Mega Nerf gun for a while!
So you don't like to whistle while you work
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't! ;0)
DeleteThere is a new Nerf bow and arrow with whistling arrows...don't buy that for Bubba!
ReplyDeleteMega Nerf gun..now on my do not buy list.
I saw the Nerf bow and arrow. I will not be getting that for my boy!
DeleteThe nerf got turfed
ReplyDeleteIt did, indeed!
DeleteWe've had many a Nerf confiscated over here (most times it's my husband who loses his Nerf privileges lol).
ReplyDeleteHaha! My husband has lost a few Nerf privileges in the past, too!
DeleteOne Nerf gun - confiscated!!
ReplyDeleteYes. And Mama won't be giving it back any time soon!
DeleteI agree: Neft gun leaves the house.
ReplyDeleteThe gun hasn't left the house, but it's definitely well-hidden!
DeleteI told you before that you need to put Schultz in charge of Bubba... he is menace to society.....
ReplyDeleteSchultz was sleeping on the job!
DeleteI'm sure it wasn't funny when it happened, but it sounds like it would have been funny to watch. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would've been.
DeleteLOL--could've been worse, I guess. I have a feeling you'll be reminding him of this incident for a while, though!
ReplyDeleteYes. What not to do if you want to keep your toys!
DeleteBoys will be boys. Good thing for him you're calm by nature.
ReplyDeleteYes. Otherwise he'd have all his toys confiscated by now!
DeleteLol! .. I had to Google it. They're quite big aren't they!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are!
DeleteClose call :) I can see how that would startle you if you weren't expecting it. My nephew does that to my sister with his Nerf gun all the time LOL
ReplyDeleteNice nephew! Maybe he should get startled a few times and see how he likes it. ;0)
DeleteThat must have been a scary experience! Glad everyone is safe, though. It would have been terrible if your violin was a casualty.
ReplyDeleteOh. You don't even want to know how angry I'd be if my viola was hurt because of it!
DeleteYikes! An assassination attempt in the midst of playing the viola. My hubby's granddaughter loves to startle me at the most unexpected times too. She gets a good reaction out of me...
ReplyDeleteKids love doing that sort of thing!
DeleteI saw a picture online of a note on a front door that said, "I'm hiding somewhere inside with a Nerf Gun. Here is the other one. Loser makes dinner." It made me want a Nerf Gun but then I realized that having my boyfriend jump out at me somewhere would probably make me scream in surprise.
ReplyDeleteThose little bullets can sting if they hit you, too!
DeleteAhh, Nerf guns--the bane of my existence! I think we have every one that's ever been made. We have the Mega, the Ultimate, the Ultimate Extreme, the Triple Ultimate Knock-Your-Socks Off Extreme Super Weapon (I made that one up in case you couldn't tell). :)
ReplyDeleteWatch out for those bullets, they can be a doozy! :)
I've been hit by the bullets a couple of times. Not cool!
DeleteMy four-year-old already wants one of those! Nope. Not for a long time in this household.
ReplyDeleteMake that like, forever!
DeleteOh I want one! Probably not what you wanted to hear from me. But it sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Just stay away from me while I'm practicing if you get one!
DeletePoor you! At least you got to keep the gun for a while.
ReplyDeleteJust what I always wanted - a Mega Nerf gun!
DeleteMight need to invest in a Kevlar headpiece...
ReplyDeleteThat's probably not a bad idea!
DeleteThat's what makes them kids. Being kids is so much fun and adventurous .
ReplyDeleteIt's all good, unless Mama ends up with a heart attack!
DeleteYep! ;0)
