How come we didn't die from penny candy and other things?

1 Answer

Answer :

What are some “other things” you mention? My mom tells me about some crazy toys she and my uncle used to play with. Like Jarts for example. They used to just throw them at each other, forget about the in the air part. Then again she used to chase him around the house with a kitchen knife, and he shot her with BBs on purpose.
