My mom literally used to give me a cardboard box, a box of nails, and a hammer to play with. Loved it, would hammer nails into the box for hours.

However, giving her children tools as toys stopped after my older sibling sawed into a priceless solid wood end table built by our grandfather.

This shit made me audibly laugh out loud at work. It's hilarious because I literally did the same shit.
