Me: "Okay, I've found my safety gloves, so now I can use the kitchen hatchet." Mr 9: "Can I use the axe?" Me: "I'm sorry. It's dangerous. That's why I had to find the gloves." Mr 9: "Can I just hold the coconut while you open it?" Me: "No, I'm sorry. Holding it is actually the most dangerous part." Mr 9: "But I'll hold it really well!" Me: "Oh, it's not that. It's what happens if I slip with the axe, or it bounces off the coconut unexpectedly. You could lose a finger!" Mr 9: "I don't mind! I have lots of fingers! Please?" #parenting
