Top 10 signs your child is obsessed with weapons

10. He refers to the 8-year-old down the block not by his name but as "the boy with all the swords." This is because the 8-year-old, bored with his array of weapons, graciously loaned a sword to your son.
9. He is thrilled when Daddy loans him a tool holder (which attaches with a belt) because it is a perfect sword holder. Then he specifically wants to wear pants with belt loops so that he can wear the sword holder and sword all day long.
8. A broken gun-shaped remote control for a toy car is now called a gun.
7. A toy drill is now called a gun.
6. During a round of Lego building, he interrupts your attempt to make a truck and notes that what you have in your hand is a gun. Then he takes it, because obviously, he doesn't have enough toys converted into guns.
5. During a round of Playdoh rolling, he interrupts your attempt to make words and points out that the "t" you just made is shaped like a sword. He takes the Playdoh "t" and waves it against imaginary thugs by the front door. When it flops over, he calls it a floppy sword.
4. He then asks for more floppy swords in all the available Playdoh colors.
3. He has started taking all your clothing hangars to use them as archery bows.
2. During bath time, he opens negotiations to find out exactly what chores he would need to accomplish so that Mommy and Daddy can buy him a real bow and arrow set.
And the number one sign that your child is obsessed with weapons....
You spent an entire Labor Day with your son killing off at least 30 different monsters, bad guys and everyday thugs in your house. You never realized that your house was so unsafe.
