Wow. You try to do something positive like read a book, and look how it’s rewarded. What’s worse for Hammie is, if he retaliates, he’s the one who’ll get in trouble. “She started it,” rarely gets you out of hot water.
Who is this being that looks like Hamish MacPhearson that is interested in reading a book over playing? Especially to have a rubber band fight with Zoe and utilize a multiple band shooter he’s built.
Never has that problem after the first occasion. Where my dad worked they had these really BIG rubber bands that dwarfed what Zoe has in her hands. All I had to do was pull out a couple of those and the fight died away quickly.
Now our bean shooter guns were another story. There used to be in the 1960’s a spring loaded toy gun that came with little round plastic balls that you could shoot. It was called the Zebra I and we all had them. The little balls would quickly get lost, but we kids figured out that the balls were the same size as navy beans. For 25 cents you had a whole bag 1 lb bag of ammo.
I remember doing that with friends when I was a kid, but the bands never struck with anywhere remotely close to enough force to hurt. Especially not at long range. She’d be very lucky if she could even reach him from there.
I have a good friend who was an only child. I was the youngest of 4 siblings. Every so often my friend will say how nice it must have been to have sisters growing up. Most of the time, I tell her tales (true ones!) that make her glad she was an only. My sister was a lot like this.

We would position a hundred little plastic soldiers around the room and then have rubber band battles.

My brother would do that to me. To this day I cringe when I see a rubber band being stretched.

Now if Hammie did this to Zoe, we all know she’d be running straight to tattle on him.

Too painfully realistic—-not to mention humiliating—-to be funny, as well as yet another perfect example of what’s bad about family values.
