We went to Conservation World at the State
Fair today. The kids got to go on a scavenger hunt throughout CW. After they
completed the hunt, they received a bag full of Smokey the Bear goodies. Fun,
right? Except for the part about letting my five-year-old shoot a bb gun. Yes,
there was an instructor who closely supervised the whole thing. But still.
I’m sure it’s shocking to think that
allowing my child to touch a gun would make me uncomfortable. Let me assure
you, it most certainly did. But I let him anyway. After all, I had to have
something to write about…
Look what this child did:
It was his first time touching a gun, much
less firing one. Do you see the dead-on bullseye? And the nice cluster of shots?
For the record he only took five shots. Who is this kid?
I was so proud… of both of us! The really funny
thing was that he took forever to
take each shot. I was totally getting impatient. Then I saw the target. I guess
we all know why he was taking so long.
Have you taken a leap of faith lately?
