To be fair, a determined child with a sharp tool can ruin most houses.

A few years ago, the neighbor kid from where my parents live made a hole in a wall of his room leading to outside.

My own kids do a lot of crazy, sometimes destructive, things which make think "how the hell do you even come up with that and not realize it's a bad idea? It's as bad as when I was a kid and... Oh."

I always joke that my kids have no where near a chance to be 10% as bad as I was as a kid. When they ask for examples I wisely say nothing at all.
