Impressive climbing skills. As a parent I would s**t my pants, though.

To be honest this is a great idea. I do't have any kids but the remotes are still always missing.

Holy c**p that's loud! 85dB is the noise level when the ear hairs cell gets damaged, making you slightly deafer. At the moment, that baby is as loud as a nightclub! XD

My friend told me that her 2 year old stopped just inside the doors of Walmart the other day, lay down on the floor and licked it. I don't know how kids survive the "mouthy" stage, so many germs. Lol

At least you can put your kid in a bathtub. :-) I rubbed it into the carpet and couch when I was two...my poor mom... (My explanation: I wanted to "help cleaning".)

Ok I have a serious question and I don't want to sound snotty. Why do parents let their children do this? If I hung onto a cart while my mom was trying to shop she would have picked my butt up hauled me either to the car or the nearest bathroom and swatted my butt... also...I never would have done this because my parents would have never allowed it. I'm confused as to how this happens?

That's usually when I am the most worried and I will check on him so many times lol when they are so quiet... and usually it is with good reason, and he is definitely NOT asleep.

And that's when you call them over and show them what happened and explain how to load the dishwasher properly. Like you should have done before giving the duty.
