I have a 9 yo, a 5 yo, and a 17 mo old. When my kids were younger, I heard my eldest shrieking at the top of her lungs in the basement: "AND I RUN FOR MY LIFE HE'S TRYING TO KILLLLLL MEEEEEEE". I rolled out of bed and sauntered downstairs to find my 2 1/2 YO in a gorilla costume chasing my 6yo with a butcher knife in one hand and a serrated knife in the other hand and clanging them together. Turns out they were packed away in a taped up box on a shelf in the corner and we'd forgotten about them.
It was one of my most hilarious mom-fails, mostly because it didn't result in injury. . .

Yeah. I had nightmares AND hysterical giggles for months afterward. It was a serious introduction to the insanity that has been raising my boy.
