Today's case:

a first grade boy threw his stocking cap against the building. The building, being made of brick, promptly took a firm and solid grip of the stocking hat, so it was stuck up there...15 feet off the ground.

My mission:

get stocking hat down, and return it to it's owner.


Results:

Success!

I borrowed a football from another first grader, and proceded to throw it at the hat repeatedly until I finally knocked it down. It took repeated attempts...as the wall was determined it wasn't going to let go.
(I also missed a few times)

Jeez, you're good.

My first thought would have been to throw the kid 15 feet up the wall to get it himself. Confused

Or that kid... I don't think Drew Brees could throw a stocking cap 15 feet up on a wall.

Maybe that's the problem with you all from Missou...

You try to jump through tires while they are against brick walls.
