Media Girl was babysitting today - occupational therapy for a young pregnant woman. The babysitting was taking place in our home which made for less than a totally relaxing Sunday afternoon. In fact the toddler's presence was enough to drive me into the all-too-chilly outdoors.
I made two observations during my trips indoors for hot refreshments. First - folks over 50 years of age should not be exposed to toddlers for more than an hour at a time. Extended exposure can impact mental wellness and lead to irrevocable loss of patience.
Second - a distressed toddler can be used for both glass recycling and canine control. Toddlers emit screeches at a decibel level that will reduce any unwanted glass to tiny crystals. Toddlers can also hit notes that will cause a misbehaving dog to excavate a hole large enough for its head - then bury its furry head in said hole until the toddler runs out of lung capacity. Once the shock waves pass, the dog will raise its right paw and promise to be good for all the rest of its days so long as it will never again be placed within a quarter mile of a screaming two year old.
