Por Que?

Yes, the question is..."Why?"

Why...why do we spend the months before the child arrives "child-proofing" our home with little extra latches and locks on all sorts of things he is not supposed to get into, because they will kill, maim, cripple, poison, or generally cause harm to him. And now, though his inability to discern what objects/chemicals represent a true threat to his person has NOT increased, one of his toys is a lock and latch board...with various locks and latches for him to play with and learn to handle.

So...we spend money buying locks and latches. And now, we are teaching him to make those locks and latches a waste of time and money. Why?

I think my wife was just trying to make it harder for me to open cabinets in my house.
