Out of Hand


A Facebook post that I’m always happy to have show up in Memories is somehow
from a dozen years ago now.

a bunch of wrapped snappers outside box reading Pop Pop Snappers and depicting little cartoon girl, explosion symbols, and Eagle company logo

My sister and her kids are visiting. We’re in Mom’s driveway playing with those little wrapped snappers you throw on the ground. My sister J momentarily blanks on both the word “grown-up” and the word “adult”.

Niece: “I’m gonna snap one in my fingers!”

J: “What?!? No you are not!”

Niece: “Uncle Brian just did it.”

J: “That’s different. He’s a… He’s an old man.”
