This is what happened at dinner tonight.

[AutographedMemorabilia]

My life is never boring.
I bet this has never happened to you.
What would you do.
Tonight i went out to dinner with my wife and just happened to meet up with her sister and husband.
As we had eaten dinner their was a man with 2 young kids and one older more than likely 14 or 15.My sister-in law is showing me the menu and i would not take any notice because i was watchinh this kid under his t-shirt which he lifted up and pulled out to me watch looked like a hand gun to me even for where i was it looked Fake.
My wife and here sister are trying to talk to me i am not taking any notice as i am watching this kid,i pulled out my phone unlocked it and dailed 000 just to have it ready they also did not notice that i moved myself so if anything happened i would be able to pull my chair out and wack this kids with it.What looked to be the father told him to leave right after he left my wifes going whats going on and i did not say a word i said to the father that was fake wasn't it he said yes and told me he sent him home i told him he was lucky.
After that my wife her sister and brother in-law who had no idea what had just happened wanted to know and as soon as i told them what was going on they all wanted to leave.
My point is always watch you never know what can happen,having a shop in the valley i have been threaten by people their i have even been hit,this kid was lucky because anyone who knows me no i have a Merv,Merv is my mate in the shop a cricket bat to wack someone who is as stuiped as that.

So why did the kid have a gun im confused?

The story i read what a guy came in with his sons and one had a gun under his shirt. After that im lost

 

[Mr Paparazzi]

Yeah you lost me on this one.

My head now hurts..... They always seem to do after attempting to read this blokes posts......

Corey, your a nice bloke mate but your inability to express a coherent thought leaves me with a headache............

It's all good guys, we don't have to be able to write uni-level essays for a thread, you can still pick the story out.

Corey's out at dinner, he notices what looks to be a fake pistol on a young bloke.

Corey doesnt alarm his wife and in-laws, but gets his mobile ready to call the cops, and a chair to whack the kid with the gat.

He observes the kid being told to leave by who Corey assumes to be the father. Once gone, Corey asks the supposed father if the pistol was real or fake, apparently it's fake.

Why the kid had the toy is anyone's guess.

Corey and co. all leave.

Corey advises us to always be on the lookout, you never know who is carrying what, which is why he has a cricket bat named Merv, which he has at the ready at his shop to whack any hooligans.

I might get me a bat which I might nick name Boon, after David, or maybe Jonesy, after Dean. They was 2 whack-em-up batters woot.

I understood it, but I work in community services... to say I need to understand stuff not put perfectly is an understatement

Hmm so am I understanding this right? There was a Dad and his 3 kids out for dinner and one of the kids had (what you thought) was a toy gun and you automatically get ready to thump the kid with a chair and call the cops.

That's a pretty fair over reaction isnt it?? Did you really think he was going to get up and shot the restaurant up??

Would you bet your family on that assumption?

perhaps they were eating at McDonalds

Given he thought it was a toy and he is out with his family then yes I would.

This aint Baghdad.

I thought perhaps you had magically discovered grammar and punctuation but it just turns out that some kid had a fake gun...at least that's what i could gather from reading that headache inducing paragraph.

The Valley is a shithole...wouldn't be surprised if it was a real gun.
