I was babysitting my Godson, I went to answer the phone, and when I got back he was putting the finishing touches on his large hadron collider.

I was baby sitting once, turned away for a minute, and when I looked back my nephew was still watching TV.
Also one time at a job I had for a friend of my father's, the wife of said friend had brought her toddler into work. She asked me to watch him when she went to run a work related errand I it was no problem. The kid goes digging through his bag of stuff - his bag, like kid supplies and a couple of toys - and pulls out a pack of smokes. By the time I noticed he had the wrapper off and was pulling one out. One of the trashiest experiences - she was supposed to be quitting smoking and she was hiding packs in her kid's supplies.
Heh. I have a story about myself. My dad quit smoking before I was born. After I was around 2 or 3 years old, he wanted to start up again to smoke with his friends. He was hanging out with his friends at the house, and they were smoking on the patio outdoors. He looked away for a minute, and lo and behold, I had managed to eat all of the cigarette butts. He quit smoking for good, after that.

Yeah, it does look like G&T have watched a fair share of that.
Well I worked for years at an Elementary School, and was once even a child myself.
The things I had to deal with on a daily basis. When kids group together they can form a hive mind and do terrible things.
Most things are pretty typical on a daily basis I issued citations for kids stuffing pencil lead or dirt into the drinking fountain pipes (never drink from a school drinking fountain), attempting to flood the bathrooms, throwing spitballs and such. Other stuff would take me hours to describe and drain your soul.
One of my two kids tried to bathe themselves by getting into the toilet and flushing.
Sad part is, I can't remember which one, because both of them are equally likely to have tried it.
You have no idea how much I laughed at this.
I'm fighting off a nasty chest cold and laughing at that nearly killed me.
I, too, have a 2 year old brute of a son. I turned my back on him for a couple minutes one day. In the time it took me to go to the fridge for a snack, he managed to open the spring-locked gate we had blocking off our dog room (converted 2 car garage), went into the cabinet where we keep their food, and had begun an experiment to see just how much one of our bulldogs could eat before she exploded.
A couple hours later I was trying to figure out why the hell the house was so cold (it was winter). Turns out that he had also flipped the power switch on the furnace on his way into the dog room.
Stories about the insanity children get into in safe modern day homes make me appreciate that in those early days of mankind, people had nothing to do but have sex, because we would never have made it as a race if not for our ability to just produce so many children that some of them make it
I like how Tycho's hair bleeds over into the panel on the left.

My 21 month old daughter is already standing on things so she can reach the lock on our front door while turning the handle.
AND reaching up onto counters and pulling down stuff that looks interesting (note: tasty things, sharp things and dangerous things are the most interesting things to a toddler, in no particular order).
I have no idea how she's going to survive toddlerhood :-/

Throwing yourself on the grenade there eh?
