Picture this. It’s five in the morning on a school day. It’s about 40 degrees outside and I’m sitting outside of a house in nothing but a pair of basketball shorts and flip-flops waiting. With me are two water balloons, a small pistol sized water gun and a friend who has been deemed the getaway driver.
