It appears to be a length of rope (cotton???) tied to SOME KIND of metal object. Couldn't tell you what, but it's not some light aluminum.

Probably 10-15 foot rope??

The eldest child was surprisingly accurate with it, which is both cool and alarming, as he was aiming at his younger brother ON A BICYCLE

And then one of the younger ones got it and started WHIPPING the fucker. and all I could think is "this is gonna end in a broken window or the ER"

It is, thankfully, currently abandoned in preference to An Big Stick, but it still sits on the driveway. Menacingly.

excuse???

Children, Huh
