Just recently...
I had occasion to nip around to a colleague's place a couple of nights ago.

There was nudity. Unfortunately, it was her three-year-old son who got naked: he apparently has a habit of removing his clothes at random points. I had to decline when he offered my his pants.

What is the accepted etiquette for dealing with unexpectedly naked toddlers in a social situation? More importantly, how can you keep them away from you?

Fire often works.
Most animals are scared of fire.

High pressure water hose

I didn't want to get anywhere near the water hose in this instance.

Naked children
My son is going through a phase of doing this too, it's highly embarrassing.
I'd suggest just ignoring them, eventually they go away. 'Accidentally' sloshing a bit of cold water on them helps too. I am a good parent :)

Tis' true
My three year old got nekkid at my boss' farewell party a month or so back. "Just like his Dad" was the most common reaction.....

Perfectly normal
Our neighbours are quite used to our kids helping out in the garden (aka - playing in the mud) and stripping off rather than get their clothes mucky. The conversation did grind to a halt at one time though, we turned round to see our one year old squatting in the middle of the driveway with a large puddle of pee spreading out around her.
