Two adorable preschool girls enjoying an afternoon playdate. One's 4, the other just turned 5. My husband's home "supervising."
How much trouble can two little girls get into in 5 minutes alone in the bathroom?
Let's see...
A sealed carton of Epsom salts, opened and perhaps tasted.
Half a container of liquid hand soap, spilled on the floor.
A bottle of nail polish remover, splashed into the bathtub.
Josh's razor, broken.
Z's butt, incompletely wiped.
Z's not the mischievious type, but apparently she's highly suggestible. She's the girl from those afterschool specials on peer pressure.
"What did you open Mommy's things and do stuff you knew was wrong?"
"Because my friend said we should."
"What did she say, exactly?"
"She said 'Let's make a disaster.'"
"And why didn't you say no?"
"I don't know," she shrugs, "but I promise I'll never do it again!"

And how did Josh handle this "disaster"?
He scolded them, gave them a talk about poisons and them shooed them downstairs to the art table.
Good for him! I probably would have screamed.....
Josh should have made them finish the salts. That would teach them.
Oh the joys of young kids! I would hate to see what would have happened had he left them alone in the kitchen!
On a playdate at another girl's house, after Nutmeg had been in the bathroom a suspiciously long time, I busted in to find both girls frolicking in a bathtub with water in it, their clothes on the floor in a puddle of water. I was stunned because, like Z, Nutmeg would not normally cause this kind of mischief. But the other mom just laughed and acted like it was par for the course. Later when I asked Nutmeg which one of them had turned on the water, she said the tub already had water in it. What parent of littles leaves a tub sitting with water in it????
