Today, our 9 year-old son managed to shoot himself in the gut with my nail gun. According to my wife, this is completely my fault, because I ONLY kept it in my locked garage, ONLY secured in its box, ONLY completely disconnected from the power, ONLY on the highest shelf near the roof. FML

Exactly.. I mean their little hands are way to small to properly use a screwdriver.... should have given them a hammer. ;-)

Truthinlies, you're an idiot. OP said the kids were using the butt end of a screwdriver to try to hammer in nails. Learn to read. Calcetines, you're an even bigger idiot. That was such a failed attempt at humour. The sound of cows being slaughtered was funnier than that.
