Maybe he wants to be the first one to get a trip to the hospital with a genuine serious injury.

With six sons, I’m surprised we haven’t had anyone try to whiz on the cat, actually.

Can’t hold them accountable to a rule unless they’re aware of that rule.... :)

You're right there. The scary thing was that the daughter was involved in that instance too. I try to do two things with rules around the house.

1. Make rules that makes sense even to a 5 year old (i.e. No peeing on the cat, owning a lightsaber doesnt give you permission to hit your brother with a stick, ect.)

2. Don't make rules that give ideas. (i.e. I will not tell them not to put firecrackers in the refrigerator unless we have a incident involving firecrackers in the refrigerator).

What’s next?

“Smart Knives” with electronic controls in the handle that only allow the registered owner to grip them?

Shhhh. Don’t give the democrats any ideas.

What a weird (and expensive) idea. My guess is that you could make your own anti-stab knife in about 10 minutes with a regular dollar store knife by using a hacksaw and a metal file.

The underside of a ceramic mug works nicely as well.

lawn dart@Everything2.com

It was the third of July and the weather was fine
Ed brought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine
But the red ball was missing and three mallets were bent
Ed suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went

We looked by the yard games, we looked by the grills
But we couldn't find lawn darts come high water or hills
We talked to the sales clerk and she started to cry
She said "They're off the shelves now," and she told us both why:

A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart

Well we both felt so bad that we gave up the search
Ed went to bed, and I went to church
And now we never grill hot dogs, and we don't play yard games
Since we heard that sad story things just aren't the same

Pegged in the head with a lawn dart (lawn dart!)
Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part;
Pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart

Can they make a screwdriver that’s impossible to sharpen? No? Ok then, ban screwdrivers. Everything, by command of the Queen’s Majesty, must now be retrofitted with bolts. Can we require the use of plastic cutlery?

Uhmmm...is there a law against grinding something round into something pointy?

Im sure it would keep criminals from doing it.

Stab and twist works best.
Learn where the major arteries are and you got it made.
(and rent “Gangs of New York” for some quick and dirty tips).......:)
