    Default dd just used the electric drill

    to open a coconut!

    All Points given for intelligent and innovative thinking and so forth

    are removed for unsafe tool use.

    She plonked the coconut in the sink while I was watching the news on TV, and proceeded to HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND and use her dad's drill with the other.

    She could have been BADLY hurt the little stinker. Fortunately all is well and she is fine and disgustingly pleased with herself.

    Even at 21 you can't turn your back for a minute!

    I gave the safety lecture and she giggled and said, well I'm done now, and proceeded to whack the coconut with my best hammer.

    I feel like whacking my head!
