I Remember When Kids Were Allowed To Be Kids

Even much worse than a storm or a riot,
is a bunch of kids who are suddenly quiet

Oh, yeah, I remember when my granddaughter got into her mom's white paint. While mom cleaned up the paint off the visible parts of the kid, she missed the bottoms of her feet. Then she saw little white footprints on the floor, leading to the bathroom. When she got to the bathroom, she heard the 2 year old saying,
"I sowwy, mommy. I keen my own feet. I not make messy no mo' !!"

@Serenitree: I'm sure they can save the glass table, not so sure about the TV or the floor, and pretty sure the couch is ruined. But what a mess.

Your daughter must have had some patience to deal with her little one lol.

That poor dad in the video couldn't keep from laughing, but those kids would have been in big big trouble if they'd have been mine.

@RealMustangGuy: I've found that the bigger the damage, the worse the mess, the less you can do, to fix it, the easier it is to just laugh it off. It's either that, or go nuts and traumatized the kids. And it's just not worth it.
