Pudding Chatterbox Registered: 21/09/04 Posts: 8616 Loc: Blue Mountains	I had a chat to Dh yesterday about this and right now we're agreeing on not buying toy guns but being ok with him making them or playing shooting games. The jury is out on how i feel about him pointing and shooting at me or others. When it happens I guess I'll see how I feel about it. Right now it's all about one of his toys shooting another toy and he says things like "i'm going to kill you" but has no concept of what that means. DD is very into death at the moment so he probably got that one from her. I walked into a morbid game the other day, all the toys were ill and dying and then they finally died they got removed to the graveyard before magically becoming well, only to get sick and die all over again! _________________________ DD '04 DS '07 allergic to egg and wheat, GF, and now eating dairy! 1 angel Feb 2006 at 14 wks http://bornagain-creations.blogspot.com/ Stitches for Sisters What is life but to dream and do. - Margaret Gehrke.

liljay Legend Registered: 28/09/06 Posts: 4524 Loc: Akld	I won't be buying real looking guns, but we do have water pistols for the summer... I agree with the fact that they will make guns with anything anyway... yesterday it was a piece of luncheon sausage with a bite out of it "pechow, pechow mum, I gun you!"

They are toy guns that shoot foam pellets (i think), they look like HEAPS of fun! _________________________ Inspire deeply, expire slowly “It’s the quality of one’s convictions that determines success, not the number of followers.” - Remus Lupin
