June 30, 1996: My daughter hit another kid with the toy crossbow I made for her


Thirty years ago today

            On Sunday it was a very hot day and I took my daughter to the local playground on Dundas. She brought along the crossbow that I made for her out of an old crutch, a door latch, a big rubber band and a few other things. It wasn’t powerful enough to penetrate anything when it shot the arrow I’d made out of a stick but it could have put somebody’s eye out. She did harmlessly hit another kid with it and from then on I was very conscientious about where she aimed it.
