It's a "plea" for civility.

Thanks, Rinn. You gave me a good laugh (with the "nice things" line).
I had the same feeling about civility, and the way you expressed it was funny. I applaud you.
I'm sure I've heard that line before, but I can't remember where....
I empathize with the line. I'm the father of two 2-yr-old boys, and one of them is the Curious George type. Actually, he's not 2 for another month and a half, and he already carries around platforms to use to Get Into Things. (He uses chairs, scooters, sturdy toys, smaller twin brothers, tables, large stuffed animals, whatever he can stand on and move across the floor.) He is our current Reason We Can't Have Nice Things.
(We have our Nice Things locked away ... but I'm sure when the boy is four he will be able to remove hinges...)
