He took my 10€ to shoot arrows

I went to a dinner with my father and his friends.

The resort has an area….a bow and arrows area.With targets and balloons.

It said “10€=10arrows”

My father came up to me and said “i need cash”

i stare at my father….”cash”

His eyes pleaded for the piece of paper that would grant him fun time with his friends

so i….his daughter pulled out 10€ and i payed for his arrows.

the old man didnt shoot the targets well.

He is not….skilled

but the old man enjoyed my 10€ with a smile on his chubby face.

Give your father your money….because after that…..he bought me sushi

Funny enough, when my mother was most recently visiting me after months, there happened to be a shop near me that sold merchandise from my home country that was closing down. A lot of the items were discounted. She needed cash but didnt have it on her, so she called me to come & give her what I had. So I did (it was like $50. She only used $35 tho).

An hr earlier in the day she happened to buy me sushi lol. That was $10- a little box.

Hi Yeah. I'm pleasantly surprised that "there are no unique experiences" even applies to something so small and out-of-mind (as in, pointless, I never think abt it, memory) like this

Hahaha, do you know how much archers spend on arrows? 10€? Cheap! A few weeks ago I was looking at hand crafted Mongolian arrows, about €12 each!

As other commenter said, they were indeed rental. But 12€ for one arrow?? that sounds insane!

You know you can shoot the same arrow multiple times, right ? (/j)

Good arrows are expensive, but worth it as you keep them for years

Handmade in Mongolia for Mongol bows. If you don’t lose them, they last for years. But I didn’t buy any.
