And one last one before I get to workWhen little FlatTadpole was about 2, she was round at a friend's to play. Mrs Flatfrog was in the kitchen chatting, when young 'un comes in looking a bit grubby. 'What have you been up to?', they ask.
What they had been up to is experimenting with the charcoal briquettes in the fake fireplace. They'd discovered that they exploded with a satisfying pop when squeezed, making a little cloud of black dust. They'd gone through them methodically, smearing black soot all over the cream carpet. Mrs F and her friend started laughing hysterically and couldn't stop for about ten minutes. Thank God for the Dyson...
Another childhood experiment was when the (rather smaller) tadpole decided to draw on the wall with the contents of her nappy, but that's a sadly common one.

One of my own kids, aged about 2 and a half,once ripped off his disposable nappy, flattened it out and stuck it artistically to the lounge wall.
