The child’s imagination can be endless – most of us can remember the fantastical thoughts we used to create for ourselves. The adult, knowing what the child’s mind is capable of, has created an unimaginable amount of toys for children to become lost with within their own imagination. There is a toy that appears to be a great source of adult desire in chilren: the air gun, also known as a BB gun.

I think the adult is able to find a hint of happiness by watching the freedom these children have when playing with a BB gun. Maybe they think it would look dangerous if an adult played with them. I think it would look dangerous and suspicious if a 30 year-old were to be running around with a gun that looks very real while pointing it at someone. This gun sparks an imagination ignition in the child’s brain that would make the child believe whatever he’s doing is real, and it is this belief that makes the adult happy. It’s what makes the adult desire be reflected with a child.
