Gun


Currently, Tyler is terrified of bears. Terrified. A dark drive home one night, and two older sisters elaborating a story about how bears could live among the distant trees, has him still repeatedly saying "bear" and "scared" in nervous succession.

To try and ease him out of the worry, Meg assured him that "Big Dad" was with us. "If a bear were to come, Dad would beat it up." From the front seat Matt added that he'd get his guns. "You have a gun?" The girls questioned. "Yes. Two." (antiques passed down from a Great-Gpa...and stored high up in a remote corner of the garage.)

Paige, having never seen them, thought and then insisted she knew what guns he spoke of.
"Right! You do have your nail gun. That is one."

Nail gun?! Leave it to a child of a construction worker to quickly title that gun!
Nail gun against bear?! Now that's quite a visual!
