Here’s a riddle: When is a croquet mallet like a billy club? I’ll tell you: Whenever you want it to be! Cheshire Cat, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland Lewis Carroll.
Rule #0: No one (especially Hammie) is to select a ball and mallet until all the other rules, including such house rules as “Don’t whack the ball over the house,” have been read, understood and acknowledged by every player (especially Hammie). Make it clear that penalties will be enforced.
If that ball had connected, Darryl would either have a broken nose or a concussion. At what age do kids start looking ahead to see the potential consequences of their actions?

Hammie is a terror no parent wants to have. Thank God he lives in the comics.

OK, time to put the game away for about two years.

And the “crash” you hear is either a breaking window or a car windscreen.

The ball’s trajectory wasn’t high enough to clear a dog house roof…

Combine it with Calvinball. There supposedly was a Calvinball game involving hitting badminton birdies against trees using a croquet mallet.

There’s a “Happy Gilmore” sequel in the works. This kid could have a small role, or least be an extra.

In croquet it is good Hammie added some excitement to that game. It is even more boring than baseball or golf or fishing.

Darryl – “This is croquet not golf and you’re not Happy Gilmore.” Better hope the ball doesn;’t make it to a window on the house across the street!

That’s a heck of drive to pull off with a heavy croquet ball and mallet.

Does the kid know the concept of consequences for his actions? No dad=loss and pain?
