My son was playing in the snow today and got a little creative with his waster.

That is the best use of snow I've seen all winter. ;)

When I posted this same item on the Book of Faces I said ”wooden sword I made for him”.

Here I simply said “waster” and everyone knew exactly what I was talking about.  :)

BTW, my wife made our son pull the sword out, clean it, and store it properly before going to bed.  8)
