Baby With a Butcher Knife

Okay, so the phrase, "Baby with a butcher knife" brings to mind some punchline from some bad joke, usually.

And I like to hope that it would remain a bad joke, but lately, it has become more of a reality.

I have long since established the fact that my little people have found ways around those handy dandy drawer latches that are supposed to keep them out of the drawers.

We have tried everything imaginable to try and keep the babies out of the drawers and more importantly, away from the scary, dangerous things that are inside of them!

I thought that I had this all under control, until I heard those eerie giggles coming from the kitchen AGAIN!

I very cautiously went into the kitchen to see what the source of their amusement was, only to see Kaiden standing in the middle of the kitchen, brandishing a rather sharp and very scary butcher knife that he had just pulled out of the drawer.

Apparently, his short arms have grown and he can now reach back into the back of the drawer behind the caddy and get whatever he pleases, because there he stood, in all his horror film, bad joke punch-line glory, butcher knife gleaming in the light.

I carefully kept my cool as I extracted the scary sharp object from the baby's hands.

Nobody got hurt, but it certainly isn't what a Mum wants to find in her cherubic baby's hands!
