No joke on the airguns! We had/have real guns and they certainly werent birthday party themes...lol. My kids didnt even get into the paintball guns until they were almost grown. I think Jamie got one when he was 17 which would have made Cory 15 but the guns were really Jamie's. They only lasted until Jamie left for the Marines though. All interest died then. I think it was mostly a nervous energy type thing with the boys while waiting for Jamie's enlistment to arrive so they played Army with the paintball guns in our field. When he left, no one wanted to even think about it. I dont even know what happened to those guns.
I guess I am lucky we never had the keeping up problems. The boys only had a few friends and most were either relatives or they knew them from way back.
