The Dangers of Elmer's Glue ... and a 2 Year Old!

in Our Family - Post Comment

If you're working on a Christmas project, and you suddenly realize your scrapbooking tapes are too large for it,

And if you decide to just use Elmer's glue instead,

And if you leave the Elmer's glue out because you're going to need it again,

And if you have a 2 year old in the house,

And if you leave the room ...

 

You might come back to find that:

The two year old has filled a toy tea cup completely with Elmer's Glue,

And is pouring it back out onto the table,

Where it will form a dinner plate sized pool of white goo.

 

In which case:

You'll be very thankful you have a plastic table cloth on your antique dinner table,

And you'll be glad you came along when you did, before it got any worse,

And you'll be amazed at the things 2 year olds manage to come up with,

And even more amazed that they survive!

 

It must be because they are just so cute, even when being naughty!

 

Trusting in Him,

April

what a great attitude you have about this. the things they manage to do. I have to keep telling myself that they are just exploring the world, and that they are learning physics while they are doing things like this. Really, it is just a budding scientist learning about matter.

Kids are so cute, but isn't it funny how it seems so much cuter when it's someone else's kid!
LOL
