What in the world???

For Christmas, dad got something that came in a big box. I just couldn't wait to see! As I inched closer and closer, I realized it was a paintball gun (or at least that's what my mom said). I have no idea what that means. I only know it looks a lot bigger than my orange water bottle, which also has a trigger. If that wasn't scary enough, he had a huge mask. Maybe there is so much water inside that he needs to protect his face. I know two things for sure I need to do...
1) stay away from dad when he has his paintball gun
2) ask someone with thumbs to Google "paintball gun" so I can figure out what it is. If you want to help out, feel free to add a comment on this blog below. I need all the help I can get!
(For those who don't know, I hate water. So if you come to my house and want me to leave you alone, my parents will hand you the orange water bottle. You don't even have to squirt it. I know exactly what it is and I don't like it!)
