Your six yr old should have been holding your hand or in a cart. Certainly never out of your reach.

sarc meter off.

Seriously they sell devices to stop drawers from sliding all the way out. Maybe your cabinets could be retrofitted. Sadly almost every safety device on the narket is the result of someone elses' bad experience (or as the freeper righteous parenting squad would call it, bad parenting).

Actually what we need to do is build new cabinets. They are cheap ones the former owner put in. I just didn't expect the drawer to practically jump at him. I have two witnesses (his older siblings) who both said he never touched it. Weird things just happen around our house sometimes. Ugh!

At this time I want to mention the three year old who was playing near the mirror. Playing near a mirror could consist of making faces in it. Playing near a mirror could be playing on the floor next to it. The article is not specific enough. A few weeks ago we bought a new washer. Since the store wasn't very big and was empty we had our boys wait on the couches in front of the store. I turned away for a few seconds at a time (yes, I must be a bad parent) and would check back. When they were out of eyesight I panicked for a second. They were on the checkered carpet jumping from square to square. The manager at the store was impressed that three boys could be so quiet and well behaved as long as they were. My point being that the phrase "playing" wasn't specific enough.
