The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

It's another day home sick for Henry, coughing up a storm, but cheerful. The cleaning lady is here, so we've retreated to the basement. He spotted a bag that looked interesting and asked me to pull it down.

Said bag contains Jeff's collection of Nerf weaponry. Naturally, Henry is scary good at assembling all the parts and making them work. But he's also scary good at *improving* on the original design to make them work better.

I've just gotta say, I'm so glad that we have health insurance and not many neighbors.

Richard (my younger son, age 18) wanted to know what kind of Nerf weaponry needed to be assembled. He's been checking out the Nerf websites to see what the latest models are! He also found that we had one of the earliest Nerf weapons made - the crossbow and arrows.

Indeed, it was the nerf crossbow in the bag! I should have hidden it better.

Ours is probably still around here somewhere, but I know the cat got some of the arrows. Sharp teeth and foam just don't mix!

"Improving"... Not surprising for a kid who cobbled together a bow and arrows sometime around his third birthday.

Glad the black powder is secured!
