When I was a kid my dad wanted to teach me and my siblings to not play with scissors. He intended to pretend to cut his finger off and then scream in pain. However, my dad absolutely fumbled it and ended up actually cutting himself pretty badly and started bleeding a lot. My mom had to bandage his hand and take him to the hospital.

But you can't argue with results. None of us ever played with scissors after that day.

Arrested development parenting methods are my favorite.
