This is what happens when Mommy isn't paying attention.
So we were sitting on the couch watching Mythbusters last night, when my husband whispered something into Jack's ear.
Jack smirked, left the room, and came back with one of his Nerf guns (he has QUITE an arsenal).
They started playing a game...I wasn't paying attention to them because I was totally into finding out whether or not you really CAN make a sleeping person pee by putting their hand in warm water. (You can't. I knew it.)
All of a sudden, I hear my husband telling Jack to put his hands up. I look over and see my darling husband spin the barrel of the gun, point it at my child, and shoot. I asked what was going on, and he nonchalantly said "Oh, I taught him to play Russian Roulette with the Nerf gun."
Oh, Excellent.
Maybe next we should teach him how to pretend to smoke a crack pipe! Or hey! Let's pretend that the couch is a bridge and we'll pretend we can't take life anymore so we jump off and plunge to our death.
That will be FUN.
Clearly, the inmates are running the asylum these days...

PS...I know my husband didn't mean any harm...and I love him dearly and he is a very good daddy. But Mommy says Nerf Roulette is NO LONGER ALLOWED.

Boys will be boys! GAH!!!
Funny!! I sooooooooo wanted to buy my 5yrold that exact weapon of Large Red Suit Man fame. But I didn't. I also REALLY want a marble maze tower.. didn't get it either.. sheesh Who IS This Santa fellow and how can I get his address??
LOL! I'll tell you what, it's always the dads starting the mischief, isn't it? (I know my husband is the #1 instigator in my house. LOL)
I will say, i was certain you were going to say you got shot in the head by the gun....
Happy WW!
LMAO Ohh goodness. I love how the menfolk get so into playing with the kids, they revert back to their childhood mindset. :) Mat does that...often. But I love him for it.
oy! my son had nerfs, waterguns, etc., but being as he only had my dad and brother as male figures, he never got to play THAT game lol thank goodness. my son wasn't even interested in toy guns that long. he showed an interest in cooking toys after while. wonder if that's why all his friends love his cooking lol :0)
I watched that same episode of Mythbusters. We love that show.
My 18 month old son really likes to walk up to the TV and turn it off while we're watching it. My husband decided that the perfect solution (ie one that doesn't involve him getting off of the couch) would be to just put his nerf gun beside him and every time he does it just shoot him with it.
Can we say inappropriate!?
I see your point. Enough of the killing games.
Secretia
We've got an arsenal of these lovely toys. I feel your pain. :)
LOL - I just had to enforce the same rule - what is up with that?
Yes, a bit too much! I could see your son getting all the neighborhood kids involved, and then you'd be in big trouble!! :)
*chuckle* I constantly catch my hubster teaching Alex things he should NOT be teaching him. I think it's a dumb guy thing. lol
Husbands are such instigators, aren't they? They come up with the worst ideas that the kids absolutely LOVE!
My husband sometimes has those ideas that seem good in his head but lose something in the implementation. How dare they ruin Mythbusters.
Wait till your boys are older. Then the mischief that they get into w/ Dad is ever so much more, well, more. I loved this one. I could use more of this type.
Men....sometimes they just don't put two and two together. I know! I have one in my house and together we have three boys and they play the same types of games. Sigh....
Oh that is so not allowed!
But it is kinda funny.
This is why children are blessed with two parents with different points of view!!!!
We like mythbusters, btw. It's one of the better things on television!
Why does everything have to be guns?
Meanwhile, Im sure he's all like WHAT? Never saw the insanity in that! LOL!
That sounds JUST like something my husband would do.... boys. Or men. Or whatever they are : )
oh boy...w/2 boys myself, is this what I have to look forward to? LOL!
So the boys will be boys still applies to men!!
LMAO...oh my goodness!!! is it bad that I am glad I only have one boy?
Oh my! I don't think I would be happy with Nerf Roulette either! Sheesh!
Clearly, teaching him how to smoke crack is the next step in his education. :) We have the same nerf gun.
And, for the 20th time, I have to tell you that your little snippets at the ends of your posts are my favorite. Anywhere.
Why do so many fathers have those lapses in judgement? lol! Mine does stuff like that all the time too.
Oh Lord. No wonder kids have more fun with Dad.
My lord . . . is that a guy thing? I swear I don't know what I'd do if I had boys.
Btw, about the hand and warm water thing? I do know that if you stick a baby's foot in warm water she will pee. At least mine does every time I give her a bath! LOL!
Oh, I feel your pain. I had to ban the NERF guns in the house because I got tired of getting grazed on the head unprepared by the NERF Dart gun. And just yesterday my husband showed my 6 and 8 year old how to shoot their new Red Ryder BB rifle [eye roll]. Sure, it's spring loaded and not as powerful as a "real" rifle, but it could still potentially do damage.
Isn't Mythbusters a great show. What a concept for inquiring minds.
I agree nerf roulette was probably not the best idea. But that gun looks awesome. I am ready for one of those, for my kid I mean.
I am constantly surprised by the crazy sh*t my husband does. This sounds like exactly something he would do. This is why I must be constantly vigilant. Sigh.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious!!!
I hope you still read comments on older posts. I read the newer one about American Idol and then read this one. This one is much more interesting.
Nerf toys are great. Two Christmas ago we brought everyone these guns (like in your picture) and we had shoot outs all Christmas day.
I'm no expert but I think the video games (violent type) are much worst than the nerf guns.
The joy of living with boys. I'm the only female in this house, so such things are commonplace here. Thankfully as parents, we both agree our oldest cannot be trusted with Nerf guns, so Nerf Roulette hasn't come up yet. I'm not taking it off the table though. I do live with boys. They just don't have the means at this point.
My 3 year old received his first nerf gun this Christmas and low and behold, hubby decided to teach him to shoot....the DOG. Nice. Oh, and THEN he (hubby) turned on the tv and paused it when someone's face was on the screen, and continued to show Jack how to hit him right b/w the eyes. Nice. Can you say DETENTION in Kindergarten?? I'll send our psych bill to Nerf.
