Product Testing

We have often joked that Joshua should have been a test child for all children's toys, safety products, furniture, etc. If it can stand up to him, it will survive any other child. He is incredibly rough on almost everything. A few minutes ago, he was in the kitchen jerking on one of the drawers that was locked. The problem with this drawer is that I used to not have a lock on it because it just had oven mitts, hot pads, etc in it, so it wasn't a problem if he opened it. However, he would often leave it open & go running off to play & the drawer is right beside the doorway from the kitchen to the dining room. One day, he left it open & was running through the house kicking a ball, looking down at his feet & the ball the whole time. He ran full speed into the open drawer! So, we put a lock on it, and he jerks on it all the time now. Today, he jerked it so hard that the lock broke!
