Our kids have fairly limited reign on the internet. That’s what happens when your parents spend entirely too much time on the interwebs, especially if one of them does what I do for a living. They get to play a little Club Penguin. They go to MiniClip. They go to Amazon.
When Small is looking around on Amazon, he is invariably searching for items to fill out his Christmas list, no matter what time of year it is. I usually get a little heads up on what he’s looking for because he asks for the spelling of the words that are confounding him.
“Mama, how do you spell ‘chemistry set’?” Now, *that’s* what I want to hear. He wants something with learning potential.
“Mama, how do you spell ‘thermal camera’?” I blame The Othersiders for this. It’s still semi educational, even though he wants it for ghost hunting purposes, right?
This is the search I found on the lingering Amazon tab in my browser tonight.

Mistakenly finding himself in the Kindle section of the site is probably the only thing that kept him from actual paint guns. He might actually believe they don’t sell them. We’ll let him think that for now.
Search is On.

life was so much simpler when your only options came from the sears wishbook.
I used to circle the stuff I wanted the minute the Wishbook arrived in early October.
As for small, he DID find a paintball gun – the exact same one they were using on the Mythbusters episode he was watching.
