Wandering around the virtual playground that is the web, I took a wrong turn and became joyfully reacquainted with an almost-forgotten childhood friend. NERF!!! Yes, the toy made out of spongey foam...typically in the form of a round ball or even wheelie dinosaurs, or teeny blue & yellow rockets that 'pouffed' off from a square plastic launcher. All very soft, innocent fun......until I spotted a different type of Nerf toy with worrisome labels -- grenades, triggers, blasters, ammunition! Our kid-friendly, safe playthings are now *weaponry*! Just when did Nerf get down and dirty, and ...ultra-violent?? What's next...a version of 'Operation' where the patient is awake?
