Ilona Chisholm, 13 months, helps her mom shovel snow out of their driveway using a rake in Cohassett, Massachusetts. "Children are small and stupid," said noted child psychologist Dr. Douglas Hopper, "and they are often ill-equipped to determine the proper tool for any particular job because they are just pretty much dumb." Hopper added that any kind of plastic shovel would have been "far superior to a freaking rake--rakes are for dirt." (Associated Press)
