Water Toys

My kids received water "gun" gifts and had a lot of fun with them spraying things and each other on this hot, sunny day. Some people, though, object to kids playing with toy guns. I do too, actually, especially with toy guns that look exactly like real guns and have similar parts. But water toys that have bright colors, are not shaped like a gun, do not produce "bangs," and spray water instead of shooting bullet-like projectiles are more permissible, I think.
