Max said he might at well go and be arms dealer... Ace said he just likes to make them.. he is not going to use them... Cos he knows weapons are no good.. But I told him there are no weapons made to just be left lying around. Once a weapon is made, you can be sure it will be used... to kill or injure...
I asked him to go think about it.. how weapons may seem to be able to defend and protect us but will also kill alot of people.. innocent people...
But I don't know why, his phase of "I want to make weapons" is still there. When there are lego workshops, robotics workshops, he is not interested.. unless they are teaching him how to make weapons.
He also loves to watch Deadliest Warrior... which is a show that explores all the ancient weapons used and compares them to each other.
The other day, he started using cardboard to make a switch blade knife.
Over the course of the next few days, he added more and more things to it to modify it. So it is something he can flick open to show the blade and flick close. So that the right thing will flip open, he will remember to put stopper.. and he also came up with the idea to poke tooth picks through the cardboard and glue the two ends of the toothpick to allow the "blade" to swivel.
While I really do not like it that he likes to "make weapons" (is it any surprise that his idol in the avengers is Iron Man/ Tony Stark??), I was suitably impressed with his creations.
I think he chose to create this because his friend in school has a switch comb. It is a switchblade like thing with the blade made into a comb instead and he was going ga ga all over it and I already told him I am not going to buy that for him because a switch blade.. nevermind they try to make it into a comb... is a dangerous weapon and not for play... Me and Max do not approve of weapons...
So leh, he made his own lor..
Well i hope this phase will go off soon and he will be into making things that will help change the world for the better!
