But Mom...we NEED a Rocket Launcher!

I have been wondering where the middle piece of my vacuum cleaner had gone.  And what do you know...this morning Paul wandered into the kitchen toting the missing vacuum cleaner on his shoulder.  You see, it has a neat little mechanism where one side contracts into the other side making it smaller.  It also makes a nice clicking sound when it is contracted or elongated.  When I asked for it back he vehemently protested, "But Mom...we NEED a Rocker Launcher!"
