how horrible....for the family, and especially for the child, who will have to live with that for the rest of his life that he killed his own father by accident. He was only mimicing what he'd seen his father do...how sad...and yes it was irresponsible of the father (or anyone close by!) to leave it sitting on the table, within reach of any child.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
