Since his birthday a week ago, he has spent every spare minute carving/sharpening swords and spears and daggers in the back yard.  Now, to my chagrin, we  have a whole arsenal of weapons and are ready for Armageddon itself. 

He had to dress in his Halloween costume to show off his first creation.

Direct quote;  “I’m so excited I actually carved a double tooth dagger!  This could really hurt someone!” 

Oh, great.  This was one of those moments where I thought, “Why couldn’t I have been given 3 girls instead.”  So I’m trying not to freak out about all those sharp ‘accidents waiting to happen’ now piling up in our garage, but I am.  Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not one of those mothers who won’t let her children play with guns.  I think taking guns and that kind of play away from them would just serve to emasculate our society.  But I’m having a hard time with this one.  Not so much that I’m afraid Reagan will use them wrong, but that one of his brothers might.  Rock insists that having a whole garage full of weapons is no big deal.  So I’d like to take a survey.  Who thinks I should make him get rid of at least most of the daggers, scythes and swords he has made and who thinks I’m being paranoid???
