I was done with purchasing all of Santa’s gifts for my children. Done. Happy. Spent and saved the appropriate amount of money. Then somewhere around Black Friday my husband decided my son had to have a Nerf gun. Of course. The suggested age on the Nerf guns generally begin at 6+. So obviously this is the perfect gift completely necessary gift for my 2 yr. old son this holiday season. I was willing to go with it as being raised in an all-girl home, I think I naturally overlook some essential components on maleness. Given free license to shop, a Nerf gun buying frenzy began in which case we now have, at last count, at least 3 of them in our home. I found two of them on my to-wrap pile (no idea where the 3rd one is or what it’s being used for). After staring at them for a couple of beats, I calmly looked at my husband and said, “So which one is for you and which one is for him?” He reddened, tried his best to act offended and said that of course, both were for our son. I said, “Sure, but which one will you be primarily playing with?” He continued to lamely mumble in his defense and I just picked them up and said I would just label them both “To: Daddy, From: Santa”. I didn’t get a significant protest.
