toy gun

Yesterday in line at the grocery a boy with his parent walk by holding a plastic gun with cartoon cross-connected extension arms the type with a boxing glove on the end except his had two black suction cups at the end. It was a toy grabber with a hand grip shaped as a pistol. Aim it at something a short distance and gently grab it. Not at all useful but amusing.

I want one.

It hardly extends at all but when it does it becomes a cartoon. Similar to this. It was funny seeing him idly playing with it. Boys will be boys.


(We actually have a label for toys)

I thought this post was about Apple doing away with the gun emoji and replacing it with a toy gun.

When you get old enough, you'll need something similar to put on your socks.

I think those baby gate extension things are fantastic. The cartoon boxing mitt extender is hilarious.

And it's not just me thinking it in isolation either. Looking for the gun I saw pictures of all kind of fantastic toys along this line.
