Alice: My duck's spring got stretched. Can you fix it? Alice: Why? Beni: My mom said "A little boy with a hammer Why not just give him a nail gun, too?" Alice: And...? Beni: That was last month. So far nothing.
Geesh! Beni has been handicapped by his own Mom. Beni without his hammer is like a banjo-man without his banjo. But I must give him credit for his patience—a whole month, waiting to see what Dad will do…. Sorry, Alice.
Nail guns are so much faster than hammers, albeit with a slight reduction in quality of the work. And you can’t shoot yourself in the eye with a hammer like an acquaintance of mine once did with his nail gun.

Don’t be silly. If you have a nail gun you don’t need a hammer.

In lieu of a nail gun, there’s always the power drill, the skill saw or the stump grinder.

Nail guns make great surgical tools, too!

Beni’s a little young to grasp his mom’s irony.

It’s not really very nice to get a child’s hopes up like that…
