Only in our house


Only in our house do children wear a purple wig (or scarf) and carry liquid nails. Their memories of childhood toys will include:
hammers, screwdrivers, saws, paintcans, spackel buckets, paintbrushes, and tilesaws, etc.
(For the record, yes, many of these items are dangerous. We hide them, they find them. Sometimes they are just here breifly and there is a small window of time until they are caught playing with them. And sometimes Tom just has nowhere to go with the tools so I just have to try to keep my eyes open and immediately stop them when they are touched).

FWIW, i read that beginning part and didn't realize you said saw LOL in my opinion, its like peanuts for jonathan, if they don't learn how to handle the things that are dangerous, bad things are more likely to happen.
