Cheating at a Snowball Fight

by the Provident Woman | December 21st, 2009

Did you see the news this morning? What is the world coming to?

A man pulled a gun during a snowball fight. Yeah, you read me right. When we saw that the first thing out of my husbands mouth was “now, that’s just cheating”. Not “what was a man doing with a gun during a snowball fight?” or “did the snowballs have rocks in the middle?”

The world has gone wonky when a man gets hit in the back of the head with a snowball and pulls a gun to retaliate. Okay, that’s not exactly what happened but the sad thing is, I can actually picture it happening that way. The man happened to be a policeman in street clothes. But still, why the gun? Just make a huge rock hard snowball and launch it back. Aim for the face if you really want payback.

Now I want to go outside and have a snowball fight. Too bad most of our snow is melted. I guess I’ll have to wait till we get our snow tomorrow. I hope you still enjoy a good snowball fight, but please, don’t pull a gun on your opponent. It’s just cheating.

    Those ice snowballs really hurt. Trust me … my brother nailed me in the cheek/jaw with one when I was a kid. It hurt a lot. And I think it was on purpose.

    At least he didn’t shoot the gun. A better way to retailiate would have been to pummel the guy with a whole bunch of snowballs, and drop him in a high snowbank. Show some sense of humour/human!

    It’s only cheating if only one person has a gun. I’d say fair game if both parties are packin’.
    Joking…kind of. =)

    A perfect example of “over reaction” to a moment. The small amount of snow we got over the weekend has just about melted as well, but unlike you…..there is none in the forecast before Christmas. Enjoy your snowball fights!
