Making "weapons"

Noah is constantly making "weapons" now, which usually consist of duct tape and plastic and basically garbage. It's not that tape is that expensive. But in annoys me to watch him wrap take around sticks and plastic wrappers and paper and sure he has fun with the invention but what the hell is it? Yeah it's creative and imaginative, but then the whole house is full of these strange make believe tools that don't really do anything and look like trash. Plus the tape was more useful before hand, and instead of recycling we're really creating more landfill. It's better if we were outside or actually in a junk yard and you could just leave the stuff around.

Not to mention, if the toy is some sort of rubber band whip, that means inevitably it will hit Jonah or me in the face. Plus Jonah usually grabs something that really can be used as a weapon, a stick, a baseball, a heavy plastic truck, and the battle ensues.

I guess I started it.

But why can't he just practice with the sticks and whips and ball and chains that I made for him? How many do we have to make?
