Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do

Mike pointed this video out to me last week.


It's kind of long, so if you don't want to watch the whole thing I will highlight the good parts for you. Let's see: Dangerous things you should let your children do:

#1. Play with fire.

(Responsible Parenting 101: Firestarting Skills)

Check.

#2. Own a pocket knife.
Check.

#3. Throw a spear.
Check.

#4. De-construct appliances.

Check.

No picture to back #4 up, but miscellaneous electronic parts can be photographed if necessary.

#5. Drive a car.
Check. OK, that last one might be a stretch. All in good time.

At any rate, we thought it was a great video. Anyone who reaffirms what others might perceive as our more questionable parenting decisions is OK by me.

I have forwarded this blog posting to some other parental types, but have not received a response. Hmmmm. Poor kids won't have any spears, knives, fire or hot sauce. I shudder.

They are probably either condemning us or deciding if it is safe to let other people know what they let their own kids do!
