Nerf Star Wars


Two things.

The first is that my son thinks that Rogue One is the worst film in the Star Wars franchise.  To me that is obviously episode eight.  I love all the Star Wars films and while I felt the prequels were lacking, ultimately they were films designed to get kids to love Star Wars.  And they worked with my children.  My wife watched and liked episodes 7-9 as well as Solo and Rogue One.  Obviously, as she is not as obsessive about Star Wars as I am, she did not love them as much as I do.  But episodes 7-9 have large plot holes.  Which is a shame when both Rogue One and Solo did so much to fix the issues raised in the original Star Wars film.

Anyway the second is the battle we had today.  My son spent a lot of his money from presents on a very special Nerf Gun.  He has not watched Terminator 2, but he might enjoy it more than he would have now.  My daughter who had a quite lethal weapon has found that it is out of batteries and when she joined, it was with a less intimidating weapon, but one which they did not know.  The problem with the gun of my son is that it takes time before it can fire.  Which means that I, with my normal guns will mostly get the first shot or two in first.  But I do not have the volume of firepower that he has.  I can shoot once, prepare the gun again and shoot, until my six bullets are out. If he and his sister work it out I will be no match for them!
