Proud Dad
I’m the proud dad of a four year old girl. She and I have been talking about guns and safety. She knows all about Eddie Eagle. Eddie Eagle is a program sponsored by the NRA, and teaches kids a very simple set of rules:
If you see a gun: STOP!
Don’t Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.
You can view the Eddie Eagle training video here.
She can also recite the four rules perfectly. Today, she saw some of the neighborhood kids playing with some toy guns.
“Dad, why are those boys pointing guns at each other?”
“Well, they are playing, sweetheart.”
“Dad, you never point a gun at people. Never point a gun at something you aren’t willing to destroy!”
And yes, she used those words. Did I mention she is four?
I had to wipe a little tear from my eye. I’m so proud of my little girl.
