Like any good parents of young children, we've tried to encourage them not to slice their fingers by playing/touching sharp knives. The other morning, it became clear that this lesson was well learned:
I was unloading the dishwasher while Kiddo ate her breakfast.
"Good job, Mom" she encouraged me.
"What?" I asked, puzzled.
"You put away the sharp knife without getting cut."
While teaching her not to touch the knives, we seem to have forgotten to point out there are still safe ways to handle them...
