This past weekend we went to the mall and the girls sat on Santas lap. E asked for the diamond castle carriage, horse and dolls, pretty normal for a little 4 yr old girl. M on the other hand asked for a BB gun. She only asked for this because the day before she saw one at the sporting goods store while looking around with her Dad. Since Dad used to shoot rifle competitively when he was young, he was excited to see a pink BB gun that his daughter would be able to shoot (or more likely himself shoot). When M told me what she was going to ask Santa for Christmas, the movie "The Christmas Story" popped right into my mind. I did try to change her mind, but it didn't work. Not sure if Santa is bringing that BB gun this year or not. M isn't quite old enough or more exactly mature enough to have a BB gun. She would probably "shoot her eye out"!
