When I was young I got hold of my Dad's razor. My parents had told me it was sharp and that it would cut me.
So I ran my finger along the blades to find out HOW sharp they were. Yup. They're sharp!
Makes me feel a bit sick thinking about it now to be honest!
But anyway. Turns out my Dad and my Brother both did the same thing when they were young. So I thought EVERYONE was just curious and lacked common sense.
I was incredulous to hear that my other half has never done it. "Why WOULD you? It's sharrrp!!" Well yeah.. But I wanted to know »how« sharp....
He doesn't have ADHD. My Dad and my Brother PROBABLY have ADHD.
Anyone else do something like that?
Also, I remember once cutting my brother's eyelashes.. Why? It seemed like a good idea at the time.....

I have a collection of knives,most of which are sharp enough to shave with. When someone handles one of them I will mention that they're sharp...but almost without fail,and regardless of age,all males will run their thumb along the blade.(often regretting it immediately) ...And a lot then go on to have an imaginary sword fight with what I can only guess to be some invisible pirate captain ...which makes little sense to me,you need a sword for a sword fight. Women,on the other hand,usually look as if they're holding a live scorpion,a quick "hmm,yes,very nice" and it's handed back without delay.

When I was about six my friend and I were rampaging around a wooded area whilst my mum was chatting and drinking tea with her friends after church. We came across one of those power substations that are surrounded by a fence made from lots of verticle pieces of angle iron with big spikes on top of them, painted green, with a big yellow danger of death sign on it (ignored). I immediately thought this would be good thing to try and climb into. It looked really interesting interesting! Fortunately, I never made it over. Unfortunately, I slipped at the top and one of the spikes went through my cheeks. Still have the scar on the side of my face. I told my mum I fell into a rose bush. I never tried this again.
