electric mist

this is why I have nightmares

So, my sister-in-law e-mailed me yesterday with an oh-so-innocent subject line:

"For Carl and Luke and Jake"

Right away, I know to be afraid. I opened the e-mail and she said:

"For next year’s New Year’s party:"

And then she included a link:

How To Build a Toilet Paper Air Cannon

It was complete with photos and instructions, not only of how to build the damned thing, but how to make it a semi-automatic air cannon. It's not bad enough that my husband and sons build a 'tater gun every year and generally wreck havoc in our back yard. Noooooooooooooo, not quite good enough.

My reply to her:

"Can I tell you how much it scares me to know you're putting your evil genius to work to help the mad scientists in my family? Stop that."

And her response?

I think I am on the losing end of this battle.
