And now baby knows that knife shaped items are toys to play with. Good job idiot parents. All for this internet likes, eh? I hope the up otes were worth it.
When i think about it it was probably my dad who absentmindedly put it down somewhere in his reach when he was done with it. could have been bad too, i always keep it shaving sharp.
That's an old three stooges joke. Dizzy detectives short 68: 9 minutes 52 seconds in. moe asks cury where the gun is and he says "the landlady's baby was crying so I gave it to the baby to play with"
Funny maybe for an infant that's literally incapable of learning or being scarred by that. Like most pranks though you have to make sure you know your audience and the environment.
Came to comment same. Idiotic fucking idea to hand that to a baby. They will learn that real knife also can be put to mouth etc. Some people dont deserve to be parents! and why it is mostly usa people who should not be them? oh wait i forgot, they are idiots.
I was gonna say… Funny, but in reality, horrible prank. We’re def fighting after this. For the heart attack alone, not to mention the terrible lesson to a toddler.
While this may be true at times, when it comes to "serious" things like "you cannot do this, it is dangerous" many kids will have the understanding that something is amiss and look for guidance. It doesn't always work (sometimes they do want it still), but for most kids who are given a panicked 'ABSOLUTELY NOT' they get that there's a line
Exactly. I encourage all my children to carelessly handle loaded guns and sharp knifes. Ok, knife is singular and the f changes to a v when plural, just learned that, but I'm leaving it that way. Back to my story. The end.
I get the misplaced sarcasm, but some people actually know how to train their kids to avoid dangerous objects. Psychology 101, a look to indicate danger from the mother alone Will imprint on the baby. And there are countless other techniques.
Also not a good idea to make people panic around your kid like that; could really hurt the kids' arm by yanking the knife away if they have a good grip on it.
I would be shocked to hear that actually happening. Anyone running to disarm the kid knows not to just snatch it. Every one of these examples was a quick approach then a calm removal bc they know if they actually go to snatch the baby will yank it back if they aren’t gentle about it. It did cross my mind that it would let the kid think playing with knives is ok… so it’s pretty funny, probably worth it, but maybe not the best idea.
Ever had something in your eye, sharp or not? See how the tip of that knife is at the perfect range to get the kid in the eye as they wave it around? Smartass.
Ever met a child's fingernails? Ever been clawed in the eye by a baby's finger? They will very easily gouge a chunk outta your cornea ans that's a painful ER visit and looking like a pirate for a while. Turns out life itself is dangerous. This knife, however, is not. You're pearl-clutching.
I think the rule is shoot first, then shout drop the knife. I'm sure studies have shown witnesses get confused about the order of the words and actions and their brains finagle it into the right order!
"I know what you're thinking 'is this the day, or the other day?' Well to tell the truth, in all this excitement and not yet understanding time, I kinda lost track myself. So you've got to ask yourself one question: 'do I feel lucky?'"
It's happened at least a few times where a young kid shoots their parent with the parent's gun.
On one hand I love it when the person who caused the dangerous situation gets the most hurt but then I remember how fucking traumatizing that has to be for the kid.
Here's one that came up. Why was a shotgun loose in the backseat? Because many people are too stupid to safely own guns
ItsACrazyWorld
Its not funny. What happens if the kid picks up the real thing thinking its also safe? These kinds pranks are not funny at all.
thatwoodguy
Trouble is that desensitizes people and the child to looking at knives like toys

It’s funny but it also may teach the baby it’s okay to grab a knife.

Could also disarm the adult's response to danger in the future. Small things can have large unintended consequences.
