What Three Year Olds Do For Fun (at least in my family)

http://www.harvestfields.ca/clipart/children-mischief/clipar95.gif

This is a list I sent to Listoff in June. He did post a few of them on his blog. I thought I would put up my full list today for your enjoyment in this season where everyone is harried and could use a good laugh!

What Three Year Olds Do For Fun
  • Swing from the curtains/climb the curtains until the rods bend
  • See how many different things will fit inside the VCR or DVD player, until it won't work any more
  • See how many CD ROMs can fit into the computer at one time
  • Spread 'armpit perfume' all over big brother's room
  • Pretend the dog is a horse and try to ride it.
  • Wake teen siblings at 6am by throwing water at them
  • Rub magnets on the computer screen to watch all the pretty colors
  • Pick flowers for mommy out of any garden they want to
  • Rubber stamp art on the walls and furniture
  • Hide big sister's cell phone and blame it on the dog
  • Paint the wall with lipstick
  • Flood the bathroom
  • Paint lamp with nail polish
  • Spray an entire can of blue silly string (which stains, by the way) all over the living room
  • Tell mom, "I made lunch" and serve chocolate chip sandwiches to everyone
  • Use bathroom cleaner for hairspray
  • Cuts own hair with nail trimmers
  • Cut all the hair off big sister's American Girl doll so it will look like Harry Potter
  • Use white out to paint the floor
  • Torture the cat by locking it or zipping it inside any container that it fits in
  • Eat all big sister's Easter candy
  • Enlists a five year old sibling to assist in stacking enough objects so someone can reach the cookies on top of the refrigerator
  • Lock siblings out, because she can now reach the lock
  • Uses permanent marker to decorate herself
  • Hides so well in the house that Grandma is ready to call 911, until the giggling gives her away
  • Uses baby powder to make it snow inside the house
  • When Mom is cleaning for company, uses honey to decorate herself, the dog, and the kitchen, and then sprinkle pretty sugar on top
  • Gets naked as the door bell rings to go stand next to Mommy as she answers the door
  • Picks gum off the underside of the church pew to eat it

Oh golly, Lily, are all those real things that have happened to you? I am in so much trouble in the years to come!

Yup, not all one child though! All are real and true occurrences in the Thorns household, lol. Children teach their parents to have a sense of humor!
