The kids have a massive flatbed tonka truck I'm constantly flipping on its side so it doesn't become my Skateboard To Hospital. It makes me feel like those guys they hire in Singapore to tip over open pots of water after it rains so mosquito's don't spread

The sound of a random toy going off in the middle of the night because it's low on battery is heart stopping. Thanks furby. Always thought you were possessed.

I swear toys these days are programmed to make a noise after they haven't been touched in a while to try lure the kids back. I'll be sitting in the loungeroom and a toy the kids were just playing with will suddenly make some noise all on its own

I didn't think of that!

My daughter had a doll and late one night I heard I love you mommy, hug me. Oh boy did I shit my pants.

If you wanted to continue the Singapore theme, you should fine your kids in increasing amounts per infraction... $5000 and/or 3 months jail from the third time on.

Maybe I'll put them to work doing the actual cleaning up like all the old guys in Singapore
