Brennan–“I just want to shoot at a hurricane, OK?”

He said this while trying to explain his desire to move to Florida with his cousin so that they could become “Florida Men.” This comes from the game of choosing a date (such as your birthday) and searching up that date and the phrase “Florida Man” to see what amazing things Florida Man was doing on that day. His brothers were skeptical of his goal … until he mentioned shooting a hurricane which everyone agreed was a worthy task. Hmmm … as a mother, how concerned should I be?
