You Can See Them With Your Eyes But Not Your Hands!
When I built the display shelves in my office (and I use the term built rather loosely, since Uncle Glenn did the actual construction), I made it a point to install cross-bar locks on the oak doors. I figured that some day in the future, there would be a little boy trying to put his grubby paws on my collectibles.
Three years later, I have finally had to lock the doors to the Transformers shelves. Aiden is pointing through the glass and saying, “I want to see THAT one!” Adorable, but frightening. He has a thing for construction vehicles and he is now at eye-level with the Micromaster shelf (including the Construction Patrol).
I just told him that he could see just fine through the glass. Those are too old for him to play with. This didn’t make him very happy, but I gave him some other (broken and incomplete) Micromasters to play with, and he played with those instead. However, the display cabinets will have to stay locked from now on.
Somehow when I read the line “I want to see THAT one” makes me think Aiden could be an evil toy collector in the future lol.
@TFG1Mike: No more evil than I am, but I have been known to shove aside old ladies who get between me and shortpacked items.
