I don't know if it is true because I did not see it, but 3-year-old telles me he and a friend ate worms on the playground today and they were good. When I asked if he were pretending, he said, "No they were real worms".

I call my 2 year old son "Destruction" and my 2 year old daughter "Mayhem". They earned their nicknames. Let's just say I have very few keys left on my keyboard since they've come into the picture and most things in the house are now at shoulder-height or higher. Living room has been rearranged no less than 7 times in 2 years just to keep them away from new items of interest.

Once it was a metal bottle cap in a parking lot and another time is was a piece of bread he found under our table at a restaurant. The worst was once at the petting zoo when I looked over and he had his lips wrapped around the open drain pipe of the hand washing sink. I seriously almost vomited. I swear that child has an immune system that would protect him from a zombie mutant outbreak!


When my son was about 11 months old, he picked up a cigarette butt off the ground and put it in his mouth. Ick!

I definitely have lots of poopy naptime stories.. One time, I was in the bathroom (like a quick 30 second trip to the bath room) while my 2 yr. old and her 8 year old cousin were playing in her room, when my niece knocks on the door to tell me that there's a ton of white powder on her floor... She had gotten into the cornstarch I put in her diaper, and it was all over her and her floor.. luckily that vacuums and cleans easy. Once, she got into her baby vicks, figured out how to unscrew the cap, and had it all over her face hands and clothes. She did the same thing with vaseline once. This is when I realized that her recent growth spurt had allowed her to be able to reach things on top of her dresser...

This thread is hilarious. Confirms that toddlers are a lot of work but so much fun.

My son woke up in the middle of a nap and started babbling, so I began watching him on the video monitor. He was moving his hands back and forth on his crib sheet and I thought it was so strange. After a few minutes, I decided to go upstairs and get him. As soon as I got to the door, I smelled it. He had a poopsplosion and the motions he was making with his hands? Painting with it. He's also a thumbsucker so you can just imagine the rest.

My kids also took the keys of the keyboard (laptop). You can go online and order new ones at laptopkeys.com. It was around $5 per key - much cheaper than replacing the entire keyboard.

I'm potty training my 2 year old and I let him run around the house naked. But he's got the unfortunate habit of sitting on the couch and putting one of his fingers up his bottom!

Ooh -- thanks for the tip on replacement laptop keys, PP. DD tore out our space bar (and, unrelatedly, broke the thermostat on the heater yesterday). She's not a poop artist (yet?) but went through a phase where she enjoyed sharing pacifiers with her buddies in daycare.

Oh please, OP. If it doesn't involve masturbation, shit, calling 911, or repeating something nasty you said about someone, don't even waste my time.


I have three incidents of the four for my SIL's son. My job allows me to work at home, and my SIL needed a nanny last minute (the one they had they fired day one), so I filled in for a while.

#1 - around 16 months old, their son was "napping" in his crib. Heard him wake up, finished up the project I was working on (took about 5 minutes), went upstairs to his room, and upon opening the door I could smell he needed changed, what I hadn't yet noticed was he had "painted" the wall and his white crib with it. I was pretty happy my brother was working from home that day...

#2 - fast foward to age 3 (I was spending the week when his brother was born, SIL had a c-section), he was playing in his room, I was across the hall, and I hear a thumping coming from his room. I get curious, walk in, and find him humping against his dresser, with his pants around his ankles. The dresser hitting the wall was making the noise. I asked what he was doing, he informed me he was "tickling his penis, and mommy said I can do it in private."

#3 - fast forward to age 4, we were having a family picnic, he hit his little brother, and when his mom put him in time out he told her "Go f*!# yourself". He apparently heard it on a movies the guys were watching the night before (when they thought he was sleeping).
