I figure that there are enough TWWers who either have children of their own or spend time around other people's children that we've all seen our fair share of bizarre and amusing kid behavior.


Just this morning, I sat here watching my son get up from his breakfast and run into the kitchen. He found the fly swatter and brought it into the living room. He sat the fly swatter on the floor and then took his bowl of dry cereal and dumped it on the fly swatter. Of course, I had to throw all of his cereal away.

I would love to know what goes on inside his head.

5 second rule, son.

On the floor, sure. On the fly swatter that was out because I had just used it to kill a spider, no.

You know what they say about apples falling from trees...

an apple tree fell on my tent while I was camping

Gravity? Don't let it hit you? Isaac Newton?

Why not?

I've also watched Silas take his drink and pour it in his plate. Then one by one pick the wet food from the plate and put it in his cup.




^I had used it to scoop up the spider after spraying it with bug killer.

Have you had your son tested?

7/25/2010 11:06:06 AM

He's only 2 years old. Toddlers do some really strange inexplicable things.

And I take full responsibility for his weirdness.

7/25/2010 11:10:25 AM

Why did you spray bug spray on an already dead bug?

Why are you killing animals that eat bugs that invade your house?

7/25/2010 11:10:38 AM

*sigh*

Ok, I sprayed the spider with bug spray and then used the fly swatter to finish him off and dump him in the trash can. I killed the spider because it was a large spider and I'd rather not have a spider that big in my house (especially with a toddler running around). I also killed the spider instead of transferring it outside because we have too many spiders thanks to a mommy spider setting up house in our garage. I also killed the spider because my husband is a wuss and wouldn't have been able to sleep for a week.

So, instead of letting a harmless spider live, you spray it with harmful and deadly chemicals inside your house where your 2 year old can easily get it in his mouth. Then, you kill the spider with a fly swatter, which, you could have done without the harmful pesticide!

people don't kill spiders for reasons of personal safety

people kill spiders because they're aesthetically appalling

Yes, I did, but this thread is not titled "Weird Things I Did."

This would have been better in Old School.

No way im posting in this one

7/25/2010 11:45:24 AM

I should have known better than to put this in Chit Chat.

My little girl used to like to take all 20+ of her dolls and place them face down all over the living room. It looked like a damn mass cult suicide. Then she would get mad if we moved any of them.

7/25/2010 11:55:03 AM

I went over to a friend's house for dinner tonight and their daughter kept dive bombing into my boob when I wasn't paying attention

7/25/2010 11:55:39 AM

My child cries when I put on the bloody clown suit. That's so weird! He should be enjoying Mr. Bozo time.

probably most of the human race would do likewise if they could get away with it

7/25/2010 11:57:26 AM

True

7/25/2010 11:58:01 AM

she was hungry and nostalgic

7/25/2010 11:58:12 AM

Her mom's boob was there and ready for the taking
