Explains a mom in Oregon: “This note was left outside the kids’ bedroom door after I sent them to a time out for pouring all of the shampoo and facewash in the entire bathroom into the bathtub. I told them I couldn’t trust them not to do that so they would have to stick to showers instead of baths for the time being.”
Man, I just love it when kids threaten their parents with the silent treatment.

The silent treatment isn’t a threat, it’s a GIFT!

Fortunately, Cole points out early on that this is a jest.
But I do have some concern as to where Mom was trying to thrust the kids. Down the drain with the liquid soap?

This child has better grammar than most college students whose papers I’ve graded.

That’s because schools actually didn’t grade them on spelling or grammar for some time, it’s not been until this year, (a full six in my state, I believe) that they began doing so again.
Now it counts for weight as part of their overall grade.

“Because you siad ‘I can’t thrust you two’ but you can so let us know when you can.”
Uh, let me know when you won’t pour out all my expensive shit?

It’s not just the toddlers that do this. My 13 year old likes to do “scientific experiments” with the lotions and potions… I blame it on Harry Potter.

My brother and I did the same thing once – how else were we going to make lots and lots of bubbles to play with? We got in trouble when there were so many bubbles that they backed up and started coming up the drain in the garage after the bathtub was emptied, but it was still fun. Thanks for bringing back that funny memory!

Do you know how to get the dried up toothpaste plug out of the tube?
Do you know what bleach-based cleaners do to the memory-foam bath mat?
Do you know how to shorten your shower by mixing the shampoo and conditioner together?
If the answer is no- ask my kid.

Good call Mom. If I had a child who requested that I thrust him, I would refuse as well. We’d then spend the next few weeks taking the Rorschach test over and over until I could get some kind of clue as to where the hell I went wrong.

My friend and I tried to make scented lotion back when we maybe 11 or 12. We took rose petals and mashed, cut, and smushed them and then added the mess to lotion. It did not turn out as nice as we wanted.
