Where was this when I was in school? I would have paid A LOT more attention in PE class!

Danger Monkey, age 10: “I’ll hit you with my sword.”
Little Miss Thing, age 7: “It’s just pretend.”
DM: “Then I’ll hit… Daddy.”
LMT: “He’s a giant Hagrid. It won’t hurt him. And then he’ll grab you.”
DM: “Then I’ll use a bow and arrow from far away.”
LMT: “No! Don’t use arrows!”
DM: “Why not?”
LMT: “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”
Wonderful Wife: “How were your new goggles at the pool today?”
Danger Monkey, age 9: “They were great! Really cleared up my vision for close combat.”
Me: “Really.”
DM: “But it’s hard to swing a sword in the water, so blades will only do half damage.” (runs off)
WW: “He was at camp, right? Not the Crusades or something?”
Me: “We may be raising a gamer.”
WW: “Oh, you think?”
