April 17th was Josh's birthday. He wanted to get an air soft gun. I was having a hard time making up my mind to get him one or not. So we didn't get him one for his birthday. So last week he presented us with this contract. This is what it said.
Contract
Please agree with the terms
(From your sons lawyer)
I the wanter of an air soft gun if I get one will follow these rules if parent/guardian lets their son/daughter get one. I will not threaten anyone. I will only shoot at someone if wanted to be shot at. I will not aim or point at anyone unless in a war or wanted to be. Only get a clear see through gun that doesn't look real. If I don't follow these rules I will insert one dollar to my savings and give parent/guardians one. Please write down anything that might make a better chance of getting one. If you sign it means yes.
Parent Signature Son Signature
Parents amendments:
Will not be shot in or at any house. I will not take the gun to school or on any school grounds. Will be kind to Mom, Dad and siblings FOREVER! Will give mom a bedtime kiss every night. I will do every job I am supposed to do. If any of these rules are not followed I will surrender the gun and bullets to my parents.
We laughed really hard. With a lot of talk we all signed. I even have had a few kisses already even though he has not gotten the gun yet.
The picture is from his birthday. I got him a new helmet he likes, because I caught him jumping up and down my front stairs on his pogo stick without a helmet. He is getting braver than I want to watch.
