How to Kill a Fly 101

Things You Will Need to Kill a Fly:

1.  Weapon
2.  Patience...
3.  More Patience!!

We have lots of flies around here!  I guess from all the dirt and trash just lying around... in the streets, not our apartment :o)  So, one day, a friend of ours had this electric fly swatter and gave it to Alex.  Yes... I would agree... giving anything openly electric to a six year old is probably not a good idea.  However, when the six year old's father wants to act like a big kid and get in on the act of actually trying to kill the fly with a super~charged tennis racket... it makes for an interesting evening on my part :o)  I just popped a bag of popcorn and let the entertainment begin!!


Waiting patiently for the fly to go by...
it's all about position and agility :o)


Get 'em Franklin!!


I caught the frustration on Franklin's face...
apparently the fly is getting the upper hand on him!!


We told Alex to be really careful;
but he wanted to get in on the action!


Guess who finally won??
Victory!! 
I don't understand... must be a guy thing!!
You can't see it;
but all that's left of the fly is an eyeball...
it obliterated the thing! 
Alex thought it was very cool!!


Never a dull moment around here :o)
