I've been going through closets. I've been finding lots of interesting things, including this:
The cap gun is probably mine from my Annie Oakley days. The holster looks too new for a 60 something year old leather strap and pouch. I have no idea where it came from or why I have it.
It was startling. I picked up a folder and my eyes got stuck.
The boots have a high heel. Unless Little Cuter takes ownership I guess I'll have to take responsibility.
TBG took one look at it and said THROW IT OUT! Why do we have that? THROW IT OUT!
And I did.
For a while, the Annie Oakley/Calamity Jane piece of me treasured that cap gun. I loved the lurking and the skulking and the bam-bam-shoot-em-up adventures my cousins and siblings and I had in and around our abutting yards.
Those are powerful memories.
My, how times have changed.
Times have changed indeed. I don't know if kids still have cap guns but they certainly have virtual access to fire power. I'm not sure that's fun, and it's surely not much exercise.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw what Grand Theft Auto was I couldn't believe I'd bought it for Big Cuter for Xmas. When he asked me for coins to play Mortal Combat at an arcade I refused. Was I hypocritical? I prefer to think of it as evolved..... or woke???? as in Awake to the issue?
