Last night I surprised my entire family by shooting them in the backyard.  Afterwards I tied my son to the back of my vehicle and dragged him into town.  Once we got there a bought a new cane and let him have it.  Finally I got a pair of crocs with the intention of getting my wife inside them.  Of course, my wife and son were very happy after all of this.

What really happened?

Hmmm. Took some photos/video of family. Strapped son into child seat & drove to town.bought a candy cane for son & croc shoes for wife.

D'oh.... me thinks Sir M has it

wheeeeeee!!! More riddles!

I've now got visions of Dek doing this..

wheeeeeeeee!!!

Wheeeee!

Never a more apt emoticon for me - given I do that a lot, and that wheeee is an embodiment of that

Not quite there...

I'd guess that the bit left is the "tied my son to the back of my vehicle and dragged him into town" part - doesn't quite fit with being strapped into the back of a car. Correct?

If I'm right about that, is the actual answer that he was in some kind of kid-cart towed behind a bicycle? I've seen those things before...

Yeah, that would make sense.

Almost there...

i don't suppose we actually have a sadistic father who actually tied his kid and dragged him along, and actually bought him a cane because he cannot walk anymore? no?

is it possible that he had one of those baby carrier things, then one where you can strap the kid to your back?

Ooh, what about parasailing? Tied him to the back of a speedboat.

Or waterskiing?

In case of none of the above being right, I'll start the incisive questioning.

Is the vehicle in question motorised?

Does it have wheels?

By "vehicle" did you in fact mean the guy himself?

For the tying and dragging part, is their rope involved?

No

Yes

No

No

Bicycle?

Some kind of child seat attached to a bicycle?

Yes

Yes

One of those tandem bikes?

No

A normal child's seat for a bike? 

One of the little mini-bike-ends you can attack to the back of a normal bicycle? (makes it look a bit like a tandem)

(like this thing)

One of the towing kiddy carts I already mentioned? (like this thing)

Whoa!! That ^^ brings back so many memories for me

One of the towing kiddy carts I already mentioned?  Yes

So... he took photos of his family, towed his son into town in a kiddy-cart behind a bike, bought a candy cane for the son and some crocs shoes for the wife.

Are we still missing anything?

could be crocodile skin shoes i suppose.

Yes, still missing something.

is there a reason for it all happening?

Was it a birthday/anniversary/special occasion?

ummm... they went to a carnival?

its christmas?

No to all

Are we missing something from "Last night I surprised my entire family by shooting them in the backyard."?

Something from "Afterwards I tied my son to the back of my vehicle and dragged him into town."?

Something from "Once we got there a bought a new cane and let him have it."?

Something from "Finally I got a pair of crocs with the intention of getting my wife inside them."

or something from "Of course, my wife and son were very happy after all of this."?

Brute force solving FTW 

Yes

God damn you.

Ok, if you're on here right now, let's do this one thing at a time, I have the patience.

Are we missing something from "Last night I surprised my entire family by shooting them in the backyard."?

LOL!

SK won't rest till he gets this

*waits patiently, ready to pounce at the end*

Shhhhh.... Don't give our strategy away!

@SK, Yes.

So was it not "shot" with a camera then?

Water pistols?

Quick, get back here and answer before SirM comes back.....

I is still watching you Mr Super-king.

Shot with a paintball?

Maybe he gave them an injection...

Water guns was correct.  So I think we have half credit each to SK and Monty, correct?

Fine by me.

Deal. I'll mark it up.

lol this forum always makes me laugh
