    AITA for laughing when my nephew got hurt and knocked out a tooth with a toy my brother insisted I give him?

    I have been playing with yo-yos my whole life. Since I was five probably. My uncle taught me how to use one. I have used them in talent shows. I have even been on TV news and on a show demonstrating tricks. I even worked for a company that makes them on a demo team. I know I know. Women want me and men want to be me.

    My brother cannot use one to save his life. He just can't understand the hand movements. That's fine he has many good qualities.

    Unfortunately forethought is not one of them. I have boxes of starter yo-yos. They are lightweight and easy to learn with. I also have a bunch of I that have a self retracting mechanism inside so you can get used to the feel.

    I was showing off for the kids last weekend at a family birthday party. Everyone wanted one. I went to my garage and got a box of the freebies.

    My nephew kept looking at my Maplewood yoyo. He wanted that one. I said no. He went crying to his dad who went to our mom. She came stomping over with my idiot brother. She said that I had hundreds of yo-yos and that I could give one to my nephew.

    She insisted and my brother started insulting me for playing with toys at my age. So I took my nephew and I gave him a ball and a starter yo- yo. I told him to start with the ball until he got the feel for it. Then the light plastic one. I told him only to use the fancy one after he was sure of himself.

    Ten minutes. Ten minutes later my SIL is bringing him to the bathroom because he got himself in the mouth. I couldn't help but laugh. My brother is because his wife is mad that he got his son a "wooden morningstar". This is not accurate. The yo-yo was inspired.

    My mother appears to have forgotten her part in this play because she is mad at me. My brother told me that I had to pay the dentist bill to get the rest of the baby tooth out. I told him to eat a

He insisted, he's the parent and has ultimate decision-making on giving his child something dangerous and then leaving him unsupervised with it.

    crazyeagles62 · 18 hr. ago NTA You did your best to try to teach your nephew how to start, with starter items. Everyone else knew better, and look what happened. And I am doing my best to remain calm since I find skilled yo-yo users incredibly hot.
