Jonah's New Toy

Jonah went to a friend's house last Friday, and got to play with his airsoft guns. Well you know what that meant. Nerf is cool and all, but is nothing like airsoft! Since he could not stop talking about saving up for a gun, and asking what he could do to earn money, Bryan finally told him that if he helped him clean and organize the basement, he'd buy him one. And boy did he help! He spent all of Saturday and all of Sunday working with Bryan. He even got up at 5 am on Sunday and went down to work on it! By Sunday night they had finished, and so he was desperate for his gun! Our first few attempts to order one failed, as Amazon doesn't ship airsoft guns to MI! But after talking to others who had experienced the same problem, we found a company in Ohio that does ship here. Of course his top two choices, both Sig Sauers like Bryan's, we out of stock until the end of the month. As you can imagine, he wasn't waiting that long! So he got a Heckler & Koch USP. It came yesterday but we had gymnastics so he didn't get a chance to play with it. So today, his schoolwork was done before 10 am, and he's now out there filling my garage with little BBs. (Which he has been informed it will be his job to sweep the garage regularly! And the BBs are biodegradeable so thankfully they won't be around forever in my yard -in theory.)
The new goal is keeping Selah from eating the BBs or putting them places that require the ER to remove.
