We've got 2 dgds staying tonight and, so they get to sleep [hollow Laugh], one is in one room and one in another. We keep hearing footsteps pm s and have gone up to discover the 2 year old gas run amok in Pa's study. She has cut up all the very important post it notes that he had all over his desk. Oh dear!!

DD2 and her little friend, both 2 or 3, were playing (far too) quietly in our bedroom. When someone eventually checked, they'd smeared half a bottle of baby oil over the wallpaper, drunk a bottle of junior vitamin drops (a month's supply), and opened half a dozen condoms and shoved them down a radiator (they'd found some snakes and killed them, apparently).

That wallpaper bore the stain until we redecorated years later. I rang A & E in a panic about the vitamin drops and was told that oh yes, there would be side-effects, they'd both be bouncing with health for a couple of weeks grin

When we were young, staying at granny's for the holidays, we raided the bathroom cabinet, found what we thought was an eyebrow pencil and proceeded to embellish my younger sister's eyebrows. My parents were horrified: what we had found was a styptic pencil, used for burning off warts and my sister's eyebrows became rather patchy and grew in quite bushy for a five-year-old. Oh dear, indeed!

Chuckle!

I once cut a neat square hole out of my (new! shock bedspread and a nice long slit up a curtain shock shock apparently! I don't remember. Then I gave the scissors to my dad with "I found your scissors, daddy" grin

I remember the bedspread. It had a neat but obvious patch for the rest of its life!

I laugh now, and tell the tale, but then.......

M0nica I don't know whether to say grin or shock

DD2 cut chunks off both sides of her hair with her own little scissors when she was 3 - and about to be a bridesmaid!

Oh MOnica, I know I shouldn't laugh, but....

Aged 2, DD quietly got up and out of her bedroom when I thought she was having an afternoon nap, got into our study and quietly and systemtically pulled everything off every shelf, emptied every drawer, opened every board game we had and tipped it up. Every box; paper clips, photo corners (remember them?) hole re-enforcers, paper money from all the different games we had, scattered indiscriminately across the floor

She had just completed the task when I went upstairs and caught her. It took her about half an hour to disassembly the study. It took me nearly seven hours to sort it out and put it all back.

I once found my two shaving each other with DH's foam and wet razor. Fortunately not a nick!

They were not on his laptop but on patient record cards! He was rather upset that she left the tax bill intact.

I've just remembered that her mother cut the ca's hair and then covered it in head and shoulders shampoo. That was interesting!

My friends daughter cut off her cats whiskers! No idea how she got the cat to stay still, and my friend was in tears.

Sounds as though you are having a fun timke with the GCskitty who cares about a load of old post it notes!!! Just your DH I suspect. Teach him to use the post it notes on his PC/Laptop

funny though! grin

GandTea Sun 03-Jul-16 08:39:37

yesterday's posts were genuine attempts to type, failed miserably.

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:39:16

Have a lovely time. Beautiful day for it.

GandTea Sun 03-Jul-16 08:37:52

After a couple of coffees I am feeling fine now, heading off to RHS Hyde Hall soon.

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:24:40

No, was chuckling away at your posts yesterday and it was the first one I saw you on this morning, so thought I'd enquire as to your welfare this (overly bright? have you got sun glasses on!) morning! Hair of the dog? Or is it too early to suggest that! smile

GandTea Sun 03-Jul-16 08:20:01

But I am, see another thread, far too much to drink yesterday.

Ah, perhaps you were referring to our daughter, she was only 4 and we were going on holiday the next day !

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:14:10

hungover??? grin

GandTea Sun 03-Jul-16 08:11:55

Confused, apologies ?? what for ?

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:10:35

Apologies. That was to GandT!

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:09:32

Hungover? grin

GandTea Sun 03-Jul-16 08:03:53

Our daughter cut her own hair, what a mess, Mrs P. was distraught

breeze Sun 03-Jul-16 08:00:02

Could've been worse. She could've given herself a haircut as my sister's grandson did! Cut his fringe off! grin

ninathenana Sun 03-Jul-16 07:48:12

Did she win grandad over with the smile or is he cross grin
Maybe he didn't quiet shut the door properly?
