—On this morning’s drive
Driving my youngest and oldest to school.
Youngest: “Daddy, can I get the new Nerf gun?”
Me: “Maybe. What’s new about it, buddy?”
Him: “Daddy. [Sober voice.] It has a flashlight on it. It’s not just an ordinary Nerf gun.”
[Suppressed laughter by me and daughter. He pauses.]
Him: “Daddy.”
Me: “Yes, buddy?”
Him: “Can I be home schooled?”
[More suppressed laughter.]
Me: “Hmmm. How would that work, buddy?”
Him: “I could just stay home and watch lots of educational TV.”
Me: “Well, that’s an interesting idea. We’ll have to think about that, buddy.”

It may sound funny, but with the amount of Google and YouTube in the classroom today home schooling could soon closely resemble formal schooling.

Oh buy him the Nerf gun. Think of all the fun you can have with it when he is in bed sleeping. Besides it has a flashlight on it for heaven’s sake…. a flashlight! No ordinary nerf gun has that! Actually, tell him to write an essay for you on why you should buy it for him, if the lad can sell you on it I think he earns it.

I have always thought there was connection between the homeschoolers and the anti-gun control folks. But the Nerf crowd that’s new.

Looks like a good candidate for a Liberal politician – and I mean that as a good thing.

If it’s the Nerf dart gun (shoots 10 foam darts) that has the “laser” (i.e., flashlight) sight, the thing is fantastic.
