Kids and guns

The kids reached 8 years old and Tallahassee has been begging to teach them how to shoot so I finally gave in.

"This is a horrible idea.." Columbus says

"I know.." I put my hand over my mouth and watch

"I knew how to use a gun at a young age" Little Rock shrugs

"Yeah but you were 12" I say

"Yeah, ok, true.." She tilts her head and nods

Tallahassee and Columbus had set up cans and vases outside.

"Okay, now hold it like this" Tallahassee adjusts D/n's posture

I walk over to S/n and help him hold the gun right. We both tell them to breathe in deeply then shoot.

They both hit their targets and get excited.

"Mommy did you see that??" S/n quickly turns to me and accidentally waves his gun in my face.

I gasp and quickly grab the barrel and push it up towards the air.

The gun fires into the air, beside my head and a ringing sounds in my ear.

"Aww, fuck!" I squeeze my eyes shut and put my hand over my ear.

"Shit- Goddamn, are you alright sweetheart?!" Tal kneels in front of me and cups my face.

"Ah, y-yeah, except for the ringing in my ear" I groan

"S/n, remember guns are not toys!" Tal scolds

"I'm so sorry! Mommy are you okay?? I didn't mean to!"

"It's okay. I'm alright, baby. Keep your finger off the trigger when you're not shooting anymore" I say

He nods and still looks at us worriedly.

"You're alright. You're not in trouble, no one got hurt. This is what today is about, learning" Tal nods

Tal continues to teach the kids but he didn't want me to get hurt again so the rest of us watched from far away.

After using the still objects we tied some vases to a tree branch and swung them.

So the kids could learn how to hit a moving object.

It took a while but they finally learned.

"Now, remember, neither of you use a gun unless we allow you too." I point my finger at them

They nod

"Well today went great" I sigh

"Yeah, they learned fast, I'm so proud of them." Tal grins

"Yeah, me too. Apart from S/n almost blowing my head off."

"Uhh, yeah" Tal rubs his neck
