Shot Down
(My kid brother has been in trouble several times today for playing with a loud toy gun while our mom has a headache.)
Dad: “I’ve told you to take the gun outside!”
(My brother starts to go towards room with the gun blaring.)
Dad: “Outside!”
(He drops the gun on the floor where it goes off loudly.)
Dad: “Alright. That’s done. You’re done with it. Give it here. Go play outside.”
(He reluctantly hands over the gun. As dad goes to put the gun up on top of a high shelf, he knocks over a glass of water which shatters loudly.)
Brother: “No more water for you! Go outside!”
