talking about BoyBlu

"He's now 7 and the other week I bought him a spud gun and let him sit inside the french doors while I ran up and down in front of them outside and he fired bits of potato at me!"

ROFL

I think I'd be more inclined to buy my own spud gun and let the kids do the running. Very brave Blu!

((beyond the call of mum duty IMHO))

Sorry - didn't see this thread yesterday was too busy at A&E playing non-competitive tiddlywinks with soft counters....

Twig - I will have you know I did NOT 'waddle' but sprinted up and down like a gazelle.

AIBU to think we should try shooting at pheasants next?

BoyBlu was highly delighted with the whole thing - partly because he knew it was bit risque in terms of what's alowed. He kept breaking into pels of laughter all evening, saying 'I can't believe you let me do that - i love you Mummy!"

And I think our spud gun may be a bit on the limp side.

And he hasn't fired at any other living being since.

I can't believe he was IN and you were OUT. Surely in the interests of not having to pick up bits of potato off the floor, he should have been OUT and you IN??

But brava, sounds fabulous fun.

Ok I'm sold, where can you get a spud gun from.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 28/09/2008 21:11

You are brave Blu - my DH made my nephews a spud cannon last christmas, think the spud flew about 75 metres

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:11

ahh sorry, I'm an idiot blu, I apologise
I repeat brava however

NappiesGalore · 28/09/2008 21:17

hahahahahha

i bet tin cans wouldnt have been nearly as amusing to shoot at!

Scroll down on this page for Spud Gun

Either we had sub-standard spuds, or our tecnique is lacking, or this is a very low-rent spud gun, because I promise you was not in danger!
