From the “Be Careful What You Wish For” Department...

We were swimming and tossing around a Nerf football. Wyatt (who’s 8-years-old) shouted to me from across the pool, “Throw it as hard as you can, Papa! Try to hit me!”

“You don’t want that,” I warned.

“Yes, I do,” he laughed. “Try to hit me!”

So I shotgunned the sopping wet football at him as hard as I could and it hit him directly in the nuts.
