Put That Down!

Last night Abigail and I went outside to check on Big Daddy and Donny. Big Daddy was doing some stonework on the steps and Donny was running around with a broken shovel handle. I tried to take the handle away from him, telling him that it was very dangerous to be running around with it and that he could fall on the handle and hurt himself. After quite a fight, I managed to pry the handle from his hand. With the handle in my right hand, Abigail in my left hand and Donny by my left side, we proceeded to walk down the sidewalk to look at Big Daddy's handy work. Abigail began to slip, so I went to grab her with my right hand and violently clocked my poor son in the face the the shovel handle. He went down and started to scream which scared Abigail who then started to scream. Big Daddy looked at me and all I could say was, "I told you that handle was dangerous."
