Well, I did tell her to do it!

Earlier today, I was catching up on b3ta at the same time as talking to my mum on the phone.

Youngest daughter (8) enters the room wailing that It's-the-summer-holidays-and-it's-raining-outside wail of "I'm booooooored". I suggested that if was that bored, she could always go and clean the kitchen floor.

She shot me a look and wandered off to annoy her sister. I forgot all about it until I went into the kitchen to start cooking our dinner. And slid, like a drunken flamingo, across the floor until my knees banged into the sink unit.

She had cleaned the floor. With a duster and (I suspect lots) of Pledge. Pledge + vinyl flooring = very, very slidy.

I was kind of having fun, sliding around the floor cooking (well, it was a novelty) but I'll have to clean it again later. The girls and I had a great laugh doing the dishes and "skating" around the kitchen but if I don't clean it someone's going to get hurt. Probably me.

So, when has someone followed instructions that you perhaps could have made clearer with unintended/hilarious results?

Sounds like great fun!
*/insert witty, relevant story here that I unfortunately cannot think of at the moment.

Ha! You're lucky to have offspring who are willing to clean
Mine simply fart, swear (despite me telling them not to), scratch their arses, and today made videos using the camcorder of themselves in the style of Jackass.

Jackass is an 18.

They are 10.5.

How have they seen it?

I'm buggered if I know but one of them was caught looking for pr0n on the internet the other day - he put the search terms 'big' and 'tits' into google.

Not clever.

A one week ban of the pc has resulted.
