Wow how scary! I am going to tell this story to my husband who keeps leaving the

butcher knife on the counter after he uses it. So far hasn't made an

attempt to take it but this proves we never know what they will do next. Thank

God she wasn't hurt.

Scared the living daylights out of me...

Folks: I just have to tell you, Tori almost gave me a stroke late this

afternoon.

While I was emptying the dishwasher, Tori was talking with me in the

kitchen. I turned to put a bowl in the cabinet and when I turned back

around (not even 2 seconds) I noticed the LARGE BUTCHER KNIFE I had in the

top rack with the blade down, had been moved! And when I turned to her, she

was rubbing her neck/shoulder area. She picked it up, dragged it across her

neck/shoulder area and put it back! I knew when I turned back around the

knife was blade up and in another part of the rack. I was shocked and asked

her what she did and she said " Cut my neck! " . OMG!!! I checked her and saw

slight redness, but no blood...but I can't even fathom what possessed her to

do that!! She never did that when she was little!! My stomach was in my

throat most of the night..

My son has done similar things with me a foot away fromhimor he has run into

another room , as he runs through the house sometimes, and he has been caught

with the knife. I posted on one group about it, and I think it was this one

actually, and i got slammed for " not watching my child closely. " i watch my

child closer than any parent i know....too close sometimes. I can empathize with

you and i have no suggestions. My son is not allowed to watch anything on tv but

appropriate learning channels and we monitor what videos he watches. I think he

sees us using knives to cut food and he wants to use a knife. We do not allow

him to use even a butter knife.

Not sure why This behavior occurs.
