That's true. I couldn't use it if it was broke but no clue how it would affect him. The core is something magical so I feel a lot better keeping it out of his reach. I'm rather fond of the little monster and I hate to say this because people might take it the wrong way - I spent a lot of money to get him and to take care of him.
That's a fact I've been trying not to think about. My sister suggested I store it someplace else if I didn't want to use it but I feel oddly better keeping it at home. Guess my dreams are affecting me more than I want to admit when I'm strictly honest with myself.
