Both my boys had one. They make them so good today, you can use them with precision to even kill a bird in flight. You can't use them anywhere because you could take some ones eye out or even kill someone if a rock hits the temple. But to go to the lake or ocean , they are fun to see who can get a pebble further. If you get lost in the wilderness, knowing how to use one could provide you with food you would otherwise not be able to get by trapping. I guess they are like a bow and arrow. Like anything else, they don't hurt any one on their own. Its people who do the damage.:)
Wonderful Idioms. I really enjoyed them and the pictures so go with them. Excellent :)

ReplyDeleteI grew up with nosy parker, no I don't mean literally... Or do I?
ReplyDeleteThe homemade slingshot in the boy's pocket. I wonder how many kids in the West these days even know what it's for.
