When I was growing up this was a favorite among parents, we still joke about it. Yeah, like poking someone's eye out would make us happy. lol.

I always heard it as, "It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses an eye." :)

Don't know who wrote it but I have always liked..."The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother!"
