To this day if you give me a fake sword I will run around pretending to slice up people...and I'm 25 What else should be done with it? I can think of a few things...

I never got to play with a lot of swords as a kid, because I'm "a girl!"
But one year my brother got this toy sword for Christmas, and I think I played with it more than he did.

LMFAO!!!!!!! I remember taking old wrapping paper tubes and "sword fighting" with my brother until they were completely wrecked and useless. I guess we must have both been possessed by the cardboard tubes.

On a related note, we happen to have a Vineyard (Christian Book Store) right near a nearby Shopko.
I've been thinking about taking an index card, drawing a red upside-down pentagram on it, and the words Satan Loves You <3 on it, and then hiding it somewhere in that store.
I wonder if it would make the papers.

Keep trying until you elicit a public response if it doesn't.

Lithp, I think if you give any kid a fake sword they'll start whacking people with it. It's just what kids do. I have never seen any kid given a fake sword that doesn't start having a fake duel with their siblings/friends.

Really, what would you expect a child to do with it, hang it on the wall as a decoration? Of course, at my age I usually start duels with "There can be only one!" and make sure to try and throw in "nuns, no sense of humor" or "I peed my kilt" in somewhere during the fight.

I'd find it a little weird if a kid didn't pick up a fake weapon and pretend fight with it. I still do and I'm 20.

I'm really not sure what the mother expected the child to do with the toy sword. Stand around and look pretty with it?

When my theme music plays in a Tolkeinesque setting, I'm kicking ass as an orc/k. ;D WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGH!!!

So, Rat, how would you like to feel the immense power of an Oni wielding his Kanabo?
Psh, Orcs don't have squat on me.

Don't forget Elfstar! (Never mind the fact that she's not even an elf...)
