My son has been driving me crazy to take him and his friend’s paintballing for the longest time. For the last couple of months I had been dodging the proverbial “paintball” by offering up other exciting activities, like tickets to a NY Knicks game or ATVing.
Unfortunately, I ran out of excuses when he was invited to a Paintball Party by my good friend’s son. What made matters worse is that I was volunteered to chaperone along with a couple of other dads.
When we arrived at the facility, the staff split us up into three teams and each parent was assigned a platoon of kids to lead. For my son’s sake, I didn’t want to show my reluctance so I put on my best ‘Rambo’ face and headed out into the trenches.
