This morning my five-year-old son Charlie cut the ribbon on some of my running medals because he was 'cross'.
This random act of violence included attacks on several 10K awards dating back to 1991 plus two half-marathons from around the the time of the millennium. Also on the hit list was last year's medal for completing the London Duathlon.
Fortunately my four prized London Marathon medals escaped the carnage.

Take a belt to him. It's the only way he'll learn.
Oh noes!
Cut something of his! Naughty bugger.
You sound like my dad, with all the medals. Bloody show off! 
I think a kid gave me my cold. Or his mother... they both coughed on me.

You were coughed on by a kid? Exactly how tall are you again?
That's right, kick me when I'm down!
Those poo heads! Next time they're in, spit in their bread.

Tall enough to beat you up.

Do you know I think I might. 
I'll never get into the Master Bakers then though...
Small sacrifices.

Wow as funny as that story is especially contrasting it with how cute your kid can be (with the example of your avatar) that's pretty terrible.
That really sucks man.
But still...funny story.
It would make a good sketch. Kid comes home and all her doll heads are cut off with the dad standing outside pointing and laughing at the little girl.
They're based in boring Hertfordshire anyway, not the City.
Sod 'em then.

You might have something there... 
BTW, it's a different kid. This was Charlie and the snail is Hollie (6). Just waiting for the eldest (9) to upset me now!
