When my youngest boys were around five I wouldn't let them have toy guns. With me being a soldier, and being raised on a ranch, I didn't want my kids to think of guns as toys. I figured I'd teach them the right way soon enough.
Sure didn't stop them from asking for them every birthday and Christmas, though! I held firm. Christmas morning...watching the two youngest playing with their new Lego set. Guess what the first thing they made was?
Yeah. I gave up. Sure didn't seem to ruin them much.

I had cap guns and BB guns when I was a kid. Would probably get me sent to the gulag these days.
I see one gyno instrument.
It was rural Ohio and we were kids!
Don't judge me
Curiosity is going to get me in trouble... which one, rpm?
And all I can think of is "ouch, splinters..."

Kids are great like that. they really don't understand the meaning of the word "no".
