Cousin, in my case. We'd drop the target circles maybe thirty or forty yards apart, and stand next to them heaving the darts nominally at the other circle although mysteriously they tended to land nearer to the other kid (gee can't imagine why). Once in awhile mom or dad would come out, tell us we weren't supposed to be throwing them AT each other, then go back inside to keep watching football or whatever they were doing. We reacted to their sage advice as you'd expect kids to, by ignoring it entirely. Nonetheless we managed to avoid braining each other. In other words its pretty much our fault (and millions like us) that those things are outlawed. Darn it all.
My memory of my own childhood is no small part of why I'm glad the wife and I had a daughter. Girls are so much more civilized than little boys.

I wish Biden wasn't the best face the Democrats could put forth, but most of their most-visible people this cycle are radicals. I'm not sure who they could have nominated, and who would also have been able to generate the necessary support to win the nomination.
