Like little boys at Christmas...

Why, you might ask is an arsenal of neon yellow nerf guns piled against the far wall in our bedroom? Why is the living room littered with dozens of nerf bullets shot from a gigantic, automatic Vulcan EBF 25? Why did we just buy 19 more nerf guns last night at Target? One might look at this situation from the outside and think it strange, seeing two grown men (that would be Isaac and Justin) glowing like little boys at Christmas at the sight of their stash of weaponry. However, to the women in these guys' lives, it is no surprise whatsoever. Little in this life bring Isaac and Justin, and Tommy for that matter, more joy than ambushing one another with their nerf artillary. But alas, the arsenal is not for them. Well, not fully for them anyway. Isaac and Justin are hosting a youth event this Friday that involves four hours of nerf warfare, and I dare say, this might be one of the best attended youth events thus far. Apparently I, J, and T are not the only ones in this town who find nerf guns exhilarating. So think of my husband this Friday night with a smile on your face as you picture him racing through the dark sanctuary attacking poor, innocent middle and high schoolers with hundreds of bright orange bullets. He'll be having the time of his life!
