How to impress your father

"Don't want to go to after school club tomorrow"

"Why?"

"There's a water fight."

"You don't want a water fight?"

"Yeah. It's really crap after what happened last year. Now you can't smash water balloons in people's faces, or aim for their heads at all."

He went up to bed in protest.

I dug the sploshtastic-mega-splosher out of the shed and fired it at his window.

He still wasn't completely convinced the next morning.  "Take your water gun, I'll call. If you want home, you can come home."

I called. He was at it for four hours.

"We won. Scotland and Trinity School Vs Victoria. We had this really cool wet pellet gun that really hurts."

I'm so proud, for some reason.
