I work in pediatrics, and so I hear a lot of funny things. One time, I was cleaning a boy’s arm with some alcohol. He asked if it was alcohol and I told him it was. He then said, “Daddy puts alcohol in his water bottle!” This resulted in about 10 minutes of his dad explaining that he snuck some beer into a sporting event because the beers are overpriced and then insisting that he does NOT put alcohol into water bottles regularly. Lol

Shana, now 15, is my more…imaginative child. I have had a delegation of kids come ask me to get her out of a tree. Apparently, they were picking on her. And since they were boys and larger than Shana, then about 9, she decided the best course of action would be to fill her pockets with rocks, climb a tree so they couldn’t reach her, and then snipe them with the rocks. :o

I tried working many years ago when the kids were little. Shana would have been about 4 and Duncan would have been about 2. I came home from work to see my hallway decorated on both sides with butter hand prints. I noticed it was glittering. They told me they added sugar to make it sparkle…

Shana and Duncan also used to take a couch cushions and “belly surf” my basement stairs. I found out they were doing this when I heard a huge crash followed by an “I’m ok!” They were using the half wall at the bottom of the stairs to come to a stop.

Duncan, when he was 5, heard that you could slide on the kitchen floor if you wear socks. Which would have been fine if he didn’t decide to tweak the slippery level a bit by adding a bottle of dish soap and some water. After he had his fun he tried to clean up the mess so I wouldn’t be mad. He kept adding water, the soap kept foaming, and eventually he had to come get me for help. It took all of the towels in the house as well as a blanket to sop up all the suds, lol.

How did the babysitter not realize they were doing that and stop them?

The “babysitter” was my husband. We were working opposite shifts and he had never been left in charge of younglings before. Clueless! The kids were quiet, so he figured they were watching TV. Ah, silly man. Everyone knows when the kids are quiet it means they either fell asleep where they were standing or they are in trouble!

Haha!

Rule number one with kids: if it’s too quiet, run!
