I got a call at work today from PPT & The Guy That's Snoring on the Couch, and it went something like this:
M: Really Big Insurance Company, this is Shannon.
PPT: Hi mom, it's me.
M: Hi lovebug. What's up?
PPT: I know you're probably going to kill me, so I don't even know why I'm asking...but-can-I-please-get-a-$16-Airsoft-gun-and-I'll-work-for-16-straight-days-to-earn-it? (said in one breath).
M: What? A BB gun? No. (Note: this is about the 397th time he's asked for one, and every single time, we say no. Notice I said we say no...we, as in myself and the other parental figure.)
PPT: Please mom, I really want it and...
M: Who do you want to shoot?
PPT: Nobody, I don't even want the BBs, I just want the gun, I promise!
M: You don't want the BBs? What are you going to do, stare at the gun lovingly?
PPT: No, I just really want the gun and...
M: Please put the human who's supposed to be the adult on the phone.
(Lots of snickering and shuffling noises)
TGTSOTC: Sooooo....how'd it go?
M: I hate you.
TGTSOTC: (giggles like a little school girl)
Bastard. Start sleeping with one eye open.

2 people used their Big Boy words to communicate:
In all fairness, an AirSoft gun shoots plastic pellets, so it's a step below a BB gun, but I'm sure this distinction has been made to you ad infinitum.
I just wanted to note that the best part of being an adult is that I could go buy myself a pellet gun or something right now just because I want to, and go shooting random stuff around our house.
I'm not saying my wife would be happy about it, but I could. In theory.
Don't you love it when the other adult doesn't like to say no and make you look like the "bad cop"! I hate it when they do that!
