When Gravel was young he liked sharpening pencils. He didn't write with them or draw with them. He just sharpened them.

Sounds like Squidge! Hence the sharpening of all pencils ahead of doing homework tomorrow... it is the best course of action against him choosing the one pencil in a pot of 50 that is not sharpened then sharpening it for 1/2 an hour!

I like sharpening pencils.

I'm going to show that to Gravel - he'll live it.

Don't let Gravel - Silly boy! near anything with any form of blade...

BTW is he currently injury free?

I'm going to show that to Gravel - he'll love it.

It's one of my greatest achievements.

You were never a small boy?

Too busy with pyrotechnics....

The trouble is, to stop my son getting injured you'd have to ban a lot of things: knives, scissors, beer mugs, skipping ropes, crayons, straws, pens - the list is endless

Do you not nail his foot to the floor?

 

[mybike]

Given the state of his ankle, the whole thing might break off.

Other foot, and use the nails they use on pallets. Grrr
