Today, I was making lunch, when my two-year-old ran up to me and handed me an empty bottle of baby powder. I soon realized I'd be spending the rest of my day cleaning the entire house. FML

OP here. First off, I am a father. Not a mother. lol. for everyone who wonders how this could happen, I should have put the baby powder back in his diaper caddy, but for some reason I didn't. I have no reason just forgot I guess. And sometime during me preparing his lunch he went to his room grabbed it off his changing table and powdered the house until it was empty and longer any use to him. He is quick! I wish I had eyes on the back of my head. Thanks for all the people who were understanding.

Be glad. When they're older they'll be spilling their cocaine around the house.

If this is your first child, then it sucks for you. If this is your second or more then YDI for not putting things like that out of reach.

And if you didn't clean it up, it would like you would be starting a business in cocaine.

First of all, kids get into stuff, and quickly. Like mom, I'm going potty, they are back in thirty seconds and toilet paper is everywhere. Second of all, baby powder is bad for babies, it gets in their lungs.

Re: baby powder: Depends how you apply it and how much you use. My mother always kept it in a Tupperware container, and would dip into it with her hand. It helps to stop chafing, and as long as a cloud of dust isn't flying around (like it does when you use a normal bottle), it's safe.

My 2 year old nephew did the same thing with baby oil a couple days ago. My sister was pissed to say the least.

Baby oil is dangerous! If he'd swallowed even a little, he'd have suffocated. It gets in the lungs and coats them, there isn't anything that can be done. Maybe give your sister a heads up. You can find a story on snopes.com
