[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The other family didn't mean any harm by it, and therefore the correct etiquette is to thank them. You are free to dispose of the offending toy as you wish. [/quote] FYI. I graciously sent a Thank You note to every guest early this morning as I'm a good follower of correct etiquette. My post was intended to know what drives certain parents to give that kind of toy. [/quote] Um...it is fun. The kids enjoy it. The grown ups enjoy it. Nerf blasters (NOT "guns and bullets" fyi) are social, active, inclusive toys. Unlike sports games where non athletic or socially active kids get shunned and left out, all kids are welcome.and included when the neighborhood kids organize a big nerf battle. Yes, even the girls. They are very possibly the best active toy out there for kids, with the greatest likelihood of fun and inclusiveness for all the kids. Since ou are not going to let your kid have it, go to the basement or backyard with your husband and play around with it. I bet you will change your tune.[/quote]
