Normally I'd laugh, but that's a little too close for comfort. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I'd be having kiddie tacos for dinner that night. Just grind the little buggers up and throw in a little onion. They look quite proud of themselves, don't they? |

That's seems a little harsh on the youngins. I'd be pissed at whoever it was watching them. edit: whoever is was supposedly watching them. |

My sister and I got a bath in turpentine. That was unpleasant enough. |

If I were confronted with this mess I'm not sure if I could really get mad at anyone other myself for not having put the paint out of reach of the older toddler. The way I see it is this; the instigator had no idea of the consequences of what he was doing and the younger one wasn't even aware that his diaper was full when he was doing it! |

Exactly right. My guess with nothing whatsoever to support it: Mom and Dad are separated. Kids are living with Mom. Dad is watching the kids for the day while Mom visits her mother. Dad enables kids to perform services on his behalf (carries paint can to living room, opens up the can), tells kids to smile for the camera ("Mom will be so surprised!!!"). Then when Mom returns, Dad says he had a nice time with the kids and leaves. |

I think a trip to the hospital ER is first. I think even wimpy water-based paints for sale in Los Angeles County are toxic enough considering the age of the kids and dosage and odds that some got into the mouth of the kid on the right. Sometimes I'm SOOOOOOO glad I'm gay. |

That's the first thing I thought of. Had that been my kids, they wouldn't have time to smile. |

Unfortunately, there is nothing that is truly out of reach of a toddler. My three-year old is more than capable of going out to the garage, getting out the stepladder, retrieving a can of paint off the wall shelf, taking it back into the great room, prying off the lid, and doing her Jackson Pollock imitation, all in less than the 1.2 seconds it takes me to turn my head around to look for her. That is, if she didn't decide to take the car down to the local hardware store and buy a can first. |

While it's not quite as permanent as paint, when I was a toddler, I opened up a 10lb bag of flour, and threw it all over the kitchen, including into the small appliances. The whole room was white. I must have realized, at some point, that I had done a Very Bad Thing, and fled the scene. There are photos of my footprints (I was wearing those footed PJs) leading down the hall, and of me covered in the stuff. My mum said that at that point, all she COULD do was laugh. |

When I was a toddler, my parents bought there first new car - a '62 Corvair, white exterior, white interior (this is obviously going nowhere good). They had just gotten it, and Dad took us out for ice cream (what the hell was he thinking?). I had a chocolate ice cream cone in the back seat (really, what the hell was he thinking?), and I hoisted it up over my head, Statue of Liberty style, squishing it into the white fabric headliner. I'm not entirely sure he's really forgiven me to this day... |

I once did the very same during my grandmother's watch after watching the Three Stooges on TV. KC: point taken. |

I'm sure your father was a fine man, Dewey, but he deserved that for his lack of understanding of the power of a toddler. |

Well, I have to cut him some slack. He was only 19 at the time. By that evening, though, he'd aged ten years. I figure I've got to sit down with him & tell him some of the stresses I've been having with Fourteen. It'll do his heart good to know I'm getting back as good as I gave. :lol: |
