Playskool Releases 'My First Knife Fight' Playset
[Babylon Bee] Hasbro announced today an exciting new playset for kids and little innocent babies: "My First Knife Fight," to be released under its Playskool brand aimed at toddlers.

The playset features real shivs kids can use to stab each other in an innocent street fight. Including a variety of knives, from makeshift shivs made out of toothbrushes and razor blades to switchblades and kitchen knives, the playset is designed to entertain kids of all ages.

"Raise your kids right with My First Knife Fight!" says the voiceover in a new commercial for the product. "As everyone knows, all sweet and innocent children love to stab each other in a good old-fashioned knife fight. Make sure your kids have a leg up on the competition with our premium playset -- you don't want your innocent little baby on the wrong side of a butterfly knife!"

"Get My First Knife Fight today, wherever great toys for sweet precious little babies are sold!"

According to Hasbro, the playset is already wildly popular and has caused no actual violence, just innocent kids stabbing each other on playgrounds a lot "in good clean knife fighting fun."

#6 Back as a youngster, we played by breaking apart my grandmother's sewing scissors.

Big Mistake!

She called us spoiled little targets, and showed us how they did it back before the dust bowl days. For one of us, an old farrier's file, and the other a 1" wood chisel. She showed us how to sharpen the sides, and put a good grip so if we landed a good stab we could twist.

It was rough work, and not being the sharpest of edges occasionally a slash would stick in the other's skin and pull the knife out of hand.

Paid off when the school year kicked back in; we sure had the advantage over our classmates who only knew the flimsy modern knives!
