    This reminds me when wifey was pregnant with our only child, a couple wise men gave me a bit of advice. One said to safely introduce our child to as much as possible. The other advised me to teach child responsibility as soon as possible.
    After looking at these old toys scooter brought here, I thought what child's play they really are(minus the toxins). I began thinking of the things my 2 brothers & 3 sisters did.
    What parent in there right mind would give a child something that shoots a projectile and not expect an accident without supervision and/or training. Reminds me when we hovered over our son the first time giving him a butter knife when he was still in a high chair. Eventually he was cutting with a steak knife. In addition, he is attracted to anything that shoots, blows up or catches fire. He's now a wood cutting/nail ing fool. He used a jig saw this week building a B-ball back board. These atc's came to our family with him in mind and he has made us real proud in his decisions.
    He has asked for a couple things we have not approved: shoes with rollers and video game station. Peace out

    Yeah, I guess it is. They quickly became a basement only toy as we had no pavement in our neighbourhood aside from the 65 mile an hour highway out front which for some reason my parents thought we shouldn't be playing on.

    If I recall correctly the biggest problem with those things was that the sticks would break and I don't remember Mom being in a hurry to get us any replacements.

    I know, that's why I posted it.

    We had wood burning kits when we were young, and Lawn Darts. We didn't start trying to catch them while drinking beer until we were into our teens.

    When one of us boys (I had 2 brothers) would do something stupid and get hurt, especially if we were told not to or were warned in one way or another, My Dad would say "I bet you won't do that again"

    .....and the ol slingshot, thats an assault weapon if there ever was.....of course, we would have one speedy kid on the 185s and be applying crabapples via slingshot at said speedy operator. Paintball wasn't invented yet. O the memories......

    I like your dad, that's one of my favorite's. I'm also partial to "you'll live" & "that will leave a mark". To wipe away any sympathy, there's always "I told you so"

    Maybe a bit before anyone on here's time, but my grandpa asked me to fix up one of his favourite childhood toys, a model steam stationary engine fired by carbide pellets. Looks kinda like this one. He had a little saw mill to go with it, and is missing the very tip of his pinky finger after getting "a bit too close". I'm just kinda shocked that he didn't blow something up!

    I've got two of those downstairs. Loved playing with those as a kid/adult!
