"It's not a principle if it doesn't cost you anything"

Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.

No political grandstanding please.

My wife, thinking I'm too careful with our child.

I think I'm (objectively) fairly balanced, maybe leaning towards careful, sure. But really I just want the baby to grow to the point of being able to walk without involuntary nose dives with both eyeballs still intact.

Yes, I think it's too much for the baby to be allowed to run around with that actual kitchen tool in hand. Yes I know the baby loves it, but it's essentially a metal rod. Constantly derails an otherwise good day to speak up, but here to on the baby's behalf.

with both eyeballs still intact.

That's something you rather need watch out between 5 and 15 years.

And flower pots are dangerous btw.

Feels as if there is a particular flower pot that you have history with?

Me and my sis both barely missed the eye as a child. Always some big clay pot.
