We spent a little family time at the pool celebrating our first Father's Day together. The day would have been perfect except for the photo op. It would be nice to have a photo in which Mia wasn't trying to escape from her father's lap. She really is a daddy's girl!
That brings us to photo 2, which I'll call, "Honey, is Mia allowed to play with toy guns?" We hadn't really discussed this yet, so I wasn't exactly sure how to respond when Mia picked up a squirt gun some child had left behind. Somehow, it is hard for me to imagine that any harm can come from prohibiting the use of neon-colored space-invader style squirt guns, which no police officer could mistake for a real gun. At least until they start making real guns in neon-colored space-invader style.
Happy Father's Day, Jeff!
(P.S. Jeff is of the view that making toy guns off limits just makes them more attractive. He cites the case of a childhood pal whose mother strictly prohibited guns. The guy ended up going to West Point.)
