How my brother freaked me out for Christmas....... [View all]

sitting on his sofa Christmas morning, enjoying the kids enjoying Christmas. Marveling at the fact that my little brother is a grandpa, when he walks into the room and tosses something on my lap. My first thought is 'this is a pretty authentic lighter' as I pick it up and slip my finger on the trigger. I don't know if I said something or it just showed on my face, because he tells me.....



"It's real."



In a room full of kids, my brother just tosses a gun on my lap then wonders why I looked shocked.
