"Mommy, tomorrow can we go hunting?"
    "What, Gabe?"
     "Tomorrow, can we go hunting?"
     Laughs.  "No, babe."
     "But I want to go hunting!!"
     "Well, maybe when you are a little older, you can go hunting with Uncle Quentin."
     "What did you say?"  (eagerly)
     "I said, maybe when you get a little bigger, you can go hunting with Uncle Quentin."
     "Does he have a water gun or a shoot gun?"
     Silent laughter.  "He has a shoot gun."  I love this phrase, "shoot gun".
     "Yeah, I don’t have a shoot gun here, not at my new house."
Thinking to self - "Yes, and that would be opposed to ALL the shoot guns we left at the old house....???." The mind of a boy is a mysterious thing, filled with dinosaurs, shoot guns, and lots of smashing noises.

I'm glad my boy isn't the only one! He's into "shooting snowballs." I'm not sure where he got that idea. And I would LOVE for the dinosaur roaring to become extinct. :)
Grandpa Norm wants Gabe to know that he can take him hunting some time...later. :)
Maybe its the age. . Blake is fascinated with guns. . but he calls it a "shotting gun" :). Janice
