that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
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.
Throwing yourself on the grenade there eh?
Sad part is, I can't remember which one, because both of them are equally likely to have tried it.

Ha. Ha.
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.
You have no idea how much I laughed at this.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
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.
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 :-/
