babies and carving knives

My friend lets her one year old son play with an electric carving knife.

Before you call child protection, let me add that the blades are removed. And he can't plug it in because the plug doesn't fit an Australian socket. All he does is hold the handle and say 'buzz buzz buzz' to himself.

It's amazing how knowing the context can completely change the meaning of a statement.
