You have to be, after all, whenever you leave your toddler out of sight to do much of anything like, say, get the clothes from the dryer or grab a tissue from the bathroom. Overturned laundry hampers serve as perfect step stools to gain access to no-no cupboards, thereby granting ”permission” to curious kids who likes to experiement with cream of tartar, almond extract, pepper, and Christmas sprinkles, or just to give you a heart attack by enabling them to climb into precariously high places, like on top of kitchen counters, to snoop out a bit of chocolate.Child, thy name is trouble.
