Snoopy meets Nick and The Boy

[Snoopy]

We took another of those rockets to a birthday party yesterday as a present. I hear the parents feared for their windows, car, neighbours, lives etc.

If Mrs Nick had seen it working she could have explained that it merely causes seriuos flooding

My two have worked out that if they increase the water pressure sufficiently they may be able to launch it over the house 

Fortunately it is (i) P*ssing down and (ii) the "Arch Criminal" in the enterprise is Hors de combat

[Snoopy]

This is not making me feel any better you know

Don't worry about it. Now he is over the shock and the pain is controlled he is milking it for all it is worth.
He is almost looking forward to going back to school so that he can present an excused swimming lessons note to the Head who is keen that they all have to go swimming every week and t'lad hates it.
