Joshua is always wanting to play with razors. His sense of touch is not as keen as normal so he is fascinated with how quickly he can "feel" when he touches a sharp razor. He just scratches up his thumb a little with them. But we worry he will really hurt himself.
Of course we try to keep them hidden, but with all the people in this house shaving legs or beards, he somehow manages to find them. He also likes the excitement or panic in our voices when we see he has a razor in his hand. I'm sure the attention and the drama of the moment unfortunately makes him tend to seek them out even more.
Sometimes we are drawn towards sharp, potentially dangerous things in our lives. The intense emotions and sensations can be intriguing. Of course it's always a lie. Like Joshua, I am learning to discern truth and not get cut on the way.
Excellent insights, Patti. And I can just see Joshua with a razor enjoying the drama with a bit of smirk on his face. =)
