Quite a while ago (actually, I think it was soon after he learned to walk), he figured out, that he can push a chair around the master bedroom and then climb that to access all the higher interesting places, such as desk and drawer tops.
Funnily enough, it took him almost half a year to realize, that he can apply the same in the kitchen. Now the hell began with playing in the sink, knife wielding and stove-top touching.
We have managed to teach him, that playing with knives might lead to pain ("ow ow!"), but, I guess, he hasn't connected the notion of "pain" with actual pain. So every time he has a knife within his reach, he definitely will grab it and run around with it shouting "ow ow!". Good, that he knows.
