i grew up with butter fights at the dinner table, usually started by my dad! when the kitchen sink had a new edition of the sprayer put in, it began water fights after supper when we were cleaning up the dishes! the food fights weren't HUGE, but always fun! well, ok, nothing big until my sister decided to get my "big brother" jack with her wedding cake .... in the face.... the whole family got into. (the wedding was called off on account of a schitzophrenic groom, so the cake had to be made good use of). mom made the mistake of being too close, trying to get pictures and jack proceeded to get her in the face as well! by the time it was over, many of the family and extended family had cake and frosting on them! wedding cake all over the place in the living room!! (great stress reliever, and not a single scolding from anyone.)
