We all remember a time as kids when we were able to get our hands on something we shouldn't have. Anything hot, sharp or filthy felt like a magnet to our underdeveloped brains. Finding a knife or dirty diaper on the playground only meant one thing: today is going to be a much more interesting day than usual. Remember when the woods used to just have smut in it sometimes? Man, the pre-internet days were weird.
It's every parent's responsibility to at least keep the more dangerous stuff out of their kid's hands, but they're impossible to watch 24 hours a day. And for some reason, things like your elderly neighbor's boudoir polaroids and syringes full of dog pee just happen to find themselves in kids lives. We don't know how they got there. The world is just a big place. Honestly it's good that children spend so much time exploring and trying to make sense of the world they live in, but of course it's not an enviable position to be a parent trying to snatch a jar of teeth out of your 7 year old's hands as they scream "teeth man teeth man I am the teeth man."
Everyone knows that kids are strange creatures. Can we blame them for trying to make weapons out of old pieces or rebar and smashing old DVDs with them? Sometimes, but not a whole lot. They're right, that's a fun thing to do.
