    Since the kid seems to be OK I'm lmao! I don't think he was standing too close to a dart board. I think he was standing too close to someone dying to bury a dart in someone's skull!

    Haha, reminds me of a knee slapping scene from one of my favorites, Shaun of the Dead :p

    My gut check reaction is usually fear when I see something like this...

    A year or so ago we read about a local child, 4 years old, who got up in the middle of the night, scaled the curio to get to the door lock, unlocked the door, and wandered out. He was found two blocks down and one block over from his house at 2AM.

    Why would I bring this up? The lady who found him, a driver, said she was amazed, aghast, and amused to see a naked, little boy on the corner at 2AM, yelling at his accomplice in crime, his dog peanuts. Apparently peanuts wasn't listening to his directions and he was letting the pooch have it. Don't know where the clothes went. She said she couldn't stop laughing once the police helped return the naughty boy to the sleeping parents.

    See... I read that and I know my cute, naughty son is going to do something like that. I just know it. We have already started calling his education fund the "bail money/college account"

    I agree with kp.

    I feel that gut fear that someday I am going to turn around and find my daughter with something sticking into her...

    I am sure such pictures give parents nightmares,especially with toddlers around.

    OK...

    very freaky thing. I write the post about how my son is going to do something like that someday... last night I see I've got six knives missing... cheap little steak knives... all empty slots in the block. Not in the sink, not in the dishwasher. Not one to be found.

    needless to say I'm going to spend the day turning the house upside down for knives.

    asked him if he took them and he mostly said yes, but then if you ask an almost 4 year old if he can burp blue bubbles he might say yes...

    looked in all the "normal" hiding places... nothing left now but to tear apart room by room. After that, its outside.

    my father-in-law asked once if anyone had seen the turkey baster. His teenage son said "ill be right back"... he and my wife watched him go outside and into the garage. He came back with a dirty baster. Had been working on an engine and apparently hed been filling the cylinders with oil using the baster.

    m'kay... let the quest for deadly knives begin. I just can't believe this... =P

    No... but the kitchen is as organized as its been since we moved in. now its on to all the other rooms. And closets. And after that it's the basement. Then outside. Blech. >P

    I'm going to start wondering if my wife took them just so id tear apart the house and reassemble again...

    Maybe if I hide the chocolate she will help when she comes home?

    My brother-in-laws father was a band conductor and so, when he was younger, they had lots of the "wands" that they use to conduct with knocking around the house.

    One day my brother-in-law had one in his mouth and was mucking around, so his Mum made a grab for it - he turned away really quickly, slipped, fell over and hit the opposite end on a coffee table.

    The result was the baton pushing straight down his throat which broke his gullet!

    On the plus side, he can now down an entire pint of booze in the blink of an eye! Lol!
