Duel in the Snow, or Red Ryder Nails the Cleveland Street Kid is a 1966 short story by notable author Jean Shepherd. - AsNotedIn
My mother, leaning over a pot of simmering oatmeal, suddenly asked out of the blue: "What would you like for Christmas?"
Horrified, I heard myself blurt: "A Red Ryder BB gun!"
Without pausing or even missing a stroke with her tablespoon, she shot back, "Oh no, you'll shoot out one of your eyes."
It was the deadly Mother BB gun block! I was sunk!Jean Shepherd, Duel in the Snow, or Red Ryder Nails the Cleveland Street Kid
