ok... a bit odd... but ok...

Why is it I can see my 12 year old pulling that kind of stunt?

My cousins, when they were about 12, tied fire crackers to the toilet seat. You know, the kind that you pull and get confetti from?

My mom said if they had that much energy then evidently she wasn't keeping them busy enough.

Here's my similar story...

Worst trouble of my life came when I was about 4 or so. Dad was working graveyard, and Mom was working days. Dad fell asleep on the couch and I got bored. To entertain myself I thought... gosh what would happen if I put Kitty in the toilet?

Oh... the cat struggled some but I was successful and shut the lid.

A little while later Dad got up to go to the bathroom. Imagine his horror when a very wet angry cat came up and over the rim, claws fully extended.

Mom quit working days shortly after that. I wonder why?

LOL OMG that's aweful.

When I was four and my sister was three she learned how to use a lighter. Mom and Daddy were 'sleeping' (they were passed out), and she set the couch and a trashcan on fire. I got a couple of cups of water and put the fires out. The trashcan was all melted so I took it outside. The smell 'woke' them up, though.

They were a lot more careful about leaving things like that out, after that.

Do you realize that that reveals a lot about not only your position in the family, but also your character?

You are a cool chick. My admiration continues to grow.

It wasn't meant to, her story just reminded me of that.

i know, but i taught Kindergarten for two years, and probably will again. i know what the average four year old is capable of, and that isn't it.

It does sadden me too, the thought of you getting cups of water to put out a fire at that age.

When my brother was about 7 (I think, it was well over a decade ago) he was afraid of getting burnt by the toaster oven, so if he was making his own toast he put on an oven mitt. One day it touched against the toaster coils and lit on fire. He got a cup of water to put it out, but he had to go to the powder room to get the water because at the time he was too short to reach the kitchen tap - they were the old knob type. It was quite a spectacular charred area. He had to get someone else every time he wanted toast for about two years after that, lol. To this day he will eat plain bread over toast half the time.

Of course oven mitts are more fire resistant now.

It always puzzled me - he was too afraid to bring the mitt to the washroom, but level headed enough to put it in the steel sink and go get a cup of water.

i never realized what it might be like raising children until the day i was watching TV with my parents and the sound of breaking glass permeated through the house. They both froze, shouted in unison, "DON'T MOVE!" and sprinted upstairs. One of my brothers had thrown something called a Boglin at the other and broken the ceiling light fixture.

My mother (and several other people who knew me then) say I'm an 'old soul'. I could do lots of things at a young age that the average child couldn't. I was preparing breakfast at six, too. At four I was kissing owies and putting band-aids on them. My sister also was climbing in bed with me when she had nightmares. *shrugs*

The other day, though, I did exactly what your parents did. The kids were in the bathroom (brushing their teeth), and I heard a crash. I instantly yelled "STAY WERE YOU ARE!", cause I knew that none of the kids were wearing shoes. Someone (probably K) had left a glass cup in there and it'd fallen off the counter. It's amazing how quickly that sound gets me moving. It works even better than one of the kids saying 'uh-oh'.

graceanne, i doubt you were *ever* average.

Yeah, it was the incredible speed that makes me remember it. My mum didn't even run that fast when i was yelling about my hand being caught in the shut window.

Well if you're anything like my kids saying your hurt doesn't actually mean that I need to move fast. My kids will cry like they're dying over a bump, and not even whimper over bigger things. You can never tell by the child's reaction.

One time A (my oldest) was running through hte house - she was four at the time. She ran, full tilt boogie, into the sliding glass door, knocked herself back two feet, then got up and kept running. Didn't even cry.

 

[tealsphynx]

My baby is still waay too little to be causing cute, funny problems. Though I seem to make enough of them as it is. Today I put a measuring cup to rest in a pan until I was going to do dishes. I placed the pan back on the stove not realising it was still on low. I'm hoping once it cools we can get it off of the pand in one piece, it looks like it might make a good paddle

Nope. Wasn't like that, though i agree. i foud that many crying "i hurt" fits could be avoided by looking away before the child looked at me to see if i was watching.

i was about 12, and we have double paned safety windows. They're heavy. i was shutting my brother's window and pinched the skin of the side of my hand in the window. i couldn't reopen the window. i called out to my sister and mum so someone would come and open the window, which i was holding up with my other hand to give it a few mm space in which the skin was being mercilessly pinched. It was very distressing that i called and called and i could hear my brothers and sister in the kitchen but noone was coming. Finally, my mother, who was in the laundry room, started up the stairs, paused, and pounded up a flight and a half of stairs while screaming at my sister. They opened the window, my hand swelled up, and i spent the next half hour with my hand in ice water. i came very near to losing it before my mum showed up, and the only thing that kept me from doing it was that my mum hated hysterics. She met me with unqualified disapproval when i locked myself into a bathroom at five and screamed.

Basic Rules For Driving In MASSACHUSETTS ...

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real MASS driver never uses them.

2. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered going with the flow.

4. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

5. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will inevitably result in you being rear ended. If you want your insurance company to pay for a new rear bumper, come to a complete stop at all stop signs.

6. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.

7. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork. The other guy doesn't have anything to lose.

8. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

9. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to scare people entering the highway.

10. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are apparently not enforceable in the MASSACHUSETTS during rush hour.

11. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a MASSHOLE driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

12. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush-hour traffic in MASS.

13. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire.

14. Learn to swerve abruptly. MASSACHUSETTS is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to the State Highway Department, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.

15. It is traditional in the MASS to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes.

16. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding.

17. Remember that the goal of every MASS driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary.

18. Real MASS women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup at seventy-five miles per hour or in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

20. In the MASS area 'flipping someone the bird' is considered a polite MASSACHUSETTS' salute. This gesture should always be returned.
