Dan is a wonderful dad. He has always allowed the kids to come play with him when he's in the garage. It is a time for them to learn about how things work, to explore, invent, create, and just get dirty! They love being out there with him.
Last night he invited the kids into the garage with him so that I could peacefully clean up the kitchen after dinner. There was a lot of laughter going on in there, so I decided to investigate.....
A potato, past its prime, had been punctured with the nozzle of an air compressor to make.....
Potato Bullets!
Then the bullets were loaded into the air compressor and sent sailing toward the garage door...
with an emphasis on shooting safety, of course.
Ruby didn't shoot any, but had fun blowing things around on the floor with the compressed air.
And yes, I realize my children are running around naked in the garage, but their tendency to be half (or less) dressed between the hours of 12 -7 pm is a topic for another post.
I am so glad you posted this! The facebook comment about potato bullets had me completely lost. Gotta love daddies, they make life so much fun.
ReplyDeleteBecause, lets face it. As a mom, I would have just thrown the potato away, and never thought twice about it. :)
