Well, I noticed that the lamp was still intact. At least they didn’t break anything.
The other day when I was FINALLY ready to hit the sack, I discovered that my girls had unzipped my brand new nursing pillow (like a body pillow), let out some of the styrofoam beads, and then hid the evidence under my blanket. I was beside myself.
my kids once did something similar with left-over potato starch from pessach…at times like this you can either laugh or cry/scream. I can tell you that I did not laugh.
Wow, we need to count how many times this lady said “Oh my gosh” in 3 minutes. Where was she? Did she conk out or something? This kind of mess takes an awful long time to create! Anyhow, she gets the Saint-of-the Month award for not reacting. The kids could not have been cuter…”Whats the matter, Mommy? Look!” LOL…However, Cleaning this up takes a lot less imagination than the mess I too starkly remember from a couple of decades ago: thick globs of Vaseline smeared across the carpet and all the furniture in the kids’ bedroom! Resourcefulness thankfully overcame insanity. I actually used flour! Rubbed it into all the goo until it practically swept itself away (oh here I go sounding like Helpful Hints from Heloise).
When my son was around 3, I remember a Shabbat afternoon, when I dozed off on the couch and woke up to nail polished toys, floor, & little sister. Then there was the time that he painted the living room walls & carpet with zinc diaper rash cream! I felt like the woman in the video- just too stunned to process the mess…
The way the flour is evenly distributed over the entire room leads me to believe that it was staged. When a kid pours out flour it can land in large piles but to so evenly decorate each sofa, chair, and hallway, I really have a hard time believing the toddlers did it.
Yes we had the vaseline episode too. It was right (2 min before) our last 3-day Yom Tov! It was all over their bodies and hair. I left it in for all those 3 days and had a good laugh with everyone who saw it. It was funny to me only because my girls are angels in that sense and have never done anything like that. I was proud to have finally joined that crowd!
She’s remarkably calm! At least it wasn’t liquid or something crunchy – my kids poured a box of coco-pops all over the kitchen floor and tried to ‘swim’ in it: snap, crackle and pop! That was fun (not).
That was all from ONE bag of flour?!

Fake, yet funny.
