    what compels children

    i'd really like to know. ally, my 3 yo just came up to me and said the potty wasn't working. ok, lets go look.

    she unrolled an entire roll of tp, and proceeded to put all of it in the toilet. it was so rediculous that i didn't even know how to punish her, and it was so hard not to laugh.

    i bet you are wondering how i got it out. if you ever come to my house, you might want to check the hanger before you put your coat on it. no i threw it away, but for a minute i was just like, what do i do?! there was no way my hand was going in there.

    I think they live by the mantra "more is better". Mine unrolled a whole role of aluminum foil today. She's also been sticking things in the VCR, dropping stuff down the dryer vent. I've been having a lot of those "I wish the stick hadn't turned blue." days lately!

    Maybe she decided that was fun and got a little too carried away.  Oh the joys right, thanks for reminding me to wait a bit.  I wouldnt know how to punish either, and I certainly would have had a hard time not laughing, lol.

    yeah its a pain to not laugh at alot of stuff. i probably should not have had kids being such a kid in so many ways myself, oh well. my girsl will never be able to tell me i have no sense of humour anyway. if you need anymore reminders just let me know, that would be a never ending list.

    Hahaha! That's what you get for being a mom. [:D]  Both of my girls have done this a couple of times. Heather seems to think it takes a half roll to clean her butt.
     
    The easiest thing to get "extra" tp out of the toilet is a plastic grocery bag (doubled) over your hands, then grab it in a large clump.

    oh my dog, i actually ended up doing this. i "rounded it up" with the hanger, but i couldn't pull it out because it was all soaked and too heavy so i picked it up the same way i would berserkers messes, that is so funny [sm=rotfl.gif]

    being a mom of  a "creative" child is a never ending adventure.

    I swear to you - my boys clog the toilet at least twice a week..  I can't even laugh, it's unbelievable.  I don't know WHAT they are doing in there.  I have assigned the task of unclogging to DH, and the task of imparting the knowledge of proper use of TP in appropriate amounts.  I can't..  [:'(]
