What to Buy?

Went shopping for our youngest step-grandson's birthday. He is very energetic and loves all kinds of things, and it was suggested that we get him a water gun. So hubby and I began searching the shelves of Toys R Us for just the right gun. It is interesting to note that the size of the gun does not correlate to the distance it shoots. Hubby thought it best not to buy the one that shoots a mile (just kidding). We calculated the distance from the front porch to the street then selected one that would reach the sidewalk, but not into the street or across the street. I can just see D, standing on the sidewalk, shooting all the way across the street to the neighbors' house. We forgot to check for strength of the stream compared to the life of the cats.
