Something Wonderful: "And now I need somehow getting out"

Aaah, memories! My twins used to disappear and become deadly quiet as toddlers. They used to alternate between hyperloud and hyperquiet, and when they were in full scream mode I could hear them banging their iddow heads on the floor from way upstairs, and when they were in stealth mode, I knew they would be behind the couch, looking for ways to unplug the child proof electrical outlet covers. I don't know what it is about the outlets that so attracts little toddlers, but there were times I really wished that I'd had them attached at birth. It would have prevented so many near heart attacks.

Oh great. When the kid becomes an EMT he's going to spend a couple of minutes grilling the folks trapped in the rolled car about how they got there.

I'm telling you, I really don't know how some parents keep themselves from kissing and hugging their children to death. How freakin' adorable is that?! Geez...

charris is so right. I used this exact same tactic with my kids, quizzing them on the wrong choices that got them into trouble before rescuing them from it. And my oldest son, now a firefighter, has a reputation with his coworkers. "Always making the catastrophe a learning experience" his chief once told me.

My kids all called them "ambeelences" too. Thanks, Gerard, for posting such a darling video.
