Jeebs, that shit happens. To everybody. Maybe not identical but close enough that every parent recognizes the story.
Let your kid play with loaded guns, stick kitchen utensils into electrical outlets, give them a can of gasoline, a box of fireworks, and a box of matches ... then we'll beat you up (and save you from doing it yourself).
Something like this? Count your blessings & move on. None of us gets a perfect parent skill boost when they cut the cord.
