Went on a family holiday to Lapland a few years ago. Quite a few of us there. Something different for the kids in the family... get to meet Father Christmas, see reindeers etc. While the older folk can have a dabble at skiing, snowboarding etc.
One of the tours we were taken on was 'Santa's Workshop'. Shown around a big log cabin with 'elves' working away. We get taken outside and wait around for a ride in 'Santa's Sleigh' (Pulled by reindeer). Just hanging around, me and my younger cousin have a little snowball fight. My even younger cousin pipes up "Hit me! Hit me!"
... at which point I unleashed, possibly, the most devastating snowball in history. This must have been 30 or 40 feet away. I threw it... he saw it coming... and just watched it. SMACK. Straight in the face, took him off his feet. He hit the deck that hard that his legs nearly went over his head.
My stomach just sank, everyone was staring at me. All I could think to say was 'Good shot though'.
