The other day Daddy and I were shooting out in front of the garage towards the big dirt hill in our front yard. We were hitting the usual targets of water bottles and aluminum cans and I must say I was pretty proud of myself. I shot the .22 pump action most of the time and was able to chase a can across the hill and hit it with pretty much all 20 bullets. Then I practiced with the pistol and had a fabulous idea. What would my pointe shoes do if they were shot? So I emptied the pistol into the hill and went and got a pair of old, dead shoes and put them on the hill. I loaded up the pump .22 and unloaded it on them. It was soooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt that it was a form of therapy being able to take out my anger in that way on my shoes, might as well cause them some pain since they cause me pain everyday of my life!! My mother was horrified that I would do that to my shoes but now they've taken up permanent residence on my shelf ;)
We had fun, if you couldn't tell ;) |
My shoe, full of holes :) I also, unintentionally, shot the ribbons a couple times |
