Alternative use...

...for a Nerf gun and more productive I would say. He was using it as a vacuum cleaner.

It’s some kind of super-dooper Nerf gun that the boys bought for a ridiculous amount of money, it was their money to burn I suppose. Anyway it has some kinda motor in it that revs up to propel a grenade I think...I’m well up on these things as I am sure you can tell...anyway it sounds not dissimilar to a vacuum cleaner:-)

It wasn’t all domesticated bliss though, he was also running about with it too issuing warnings, “I’m gonna shoot ya!” so at least we had time to duck from the pretend bullets as his big cousins, thankfully, have managed to loose all the Nerf bullets and the grenade one.

Grateful for that :-)
