OK so make fun of me now

Why would I do that? That's a great story!

Reminds me of when my dad and I went back to Dallas when I was ten. We went rabbit hunting with a couple of my uncles. We did a little target shooting with a pistol. My dad put it in my hands and cocked it. I immediately pulled the trigger while he was still holding it, and according to him I nearly shot his thumb off! I have a picture somewhere of dad helping me hold that pistol.

My uncles did bag some rabbits with a shotgun, but one rabbit jumped out of a bush nearby and startled uncle Richard (the only one younger than dad). Richard shot from the hip, and the poor rabbit was so shredded that there was nothing left to cook!
