Another reason not to hang a sword on your wall!

[Cheese]

A teenager died after he was slashed by a sword that dislodged from the wall of his bedroom while he was playing ball with his siblings, authorities said.

Ouch!

Use this story when your kid demands he hangs his ninja sword on his bedroom wall!

Well, I have 2 midevil broadswords hanging on the wall above my bed. Maybe it's time to re-do my room anyway.

Mom always said, "Don't play ball in the house!" I guess she wasn't kidding.

I've always wondered what kind of odd-balls buy those gaudy looking swords for decorations in their homes.

That's either a wholly appropriate spelling mistake or a crafty bit of irony put into your post. Either way, it made me chuckle a little bit.

Or is this the story the kids are sticking to?
