Thread: 7yo damaged my strop!

When I realized I could throw a knife at the ground so that it flipped and stuck, I did it about 100 times in one small area of the linoleum floor of the kitchen (trying to get it to stick 10 times in a row, of course). It made perfect sense in the moment, but damned if I couldn't explain it AT ALL to my mother when she found out!

But she is your daughter. She is your heart and soul.

A strop is just a hunk of leather with no value.

Take a picture and drag it out as a fun story when she is 18.




Kids do stupid $hit sometimes, but that's what makes them kids. When she saw how angry you were, her little heart probably sank all the way to her toes.

She needs a hug from Daddy.

Hi,

Kids just do these things. It is a nature of a small child to get curious. Just to see how items feel or what they can do with it. I'm sure most of us have done something like it as a child. Their mind and logic isn't always the same as we adult have, but that's why we are there. To tell them not to touch items and also to tell them why not to do this and that.

At the age of seven or eight i took the fuel pump away from my grandfathers Morris. It must have been a great idea then. Guess it was the easiest part to take out and i just wanted to see what it is and how it works. Old man wasn't happy at all, but after smoking few cigarettes and -guess- letting his nerves to calm down we dissembled the pump, assembled it and put it back into engine.
