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.

Please don't use baby powder if you have a baby girl (afterwards, I know your current child is a boy). It has been clinically proven to cause ovarian cancer even if only used when the woman was an infant

YDI or leaving it where a two year old could reach it, what did you think would happen?

The YDIs obviously have never had a two year old. At least yours isn't obsessed with their own poop.

The YDI's have CLEARLY never been in a house for more than a few hours with a toddler. Here's a tip for your futures. They climb, sneak, and are smarter then you are......mainly b/c they use sleep warfare against you ! And powder takes EONS to clean up >.<

I know how you feel. Somehow my 2.5 year old managed to get vegetable oil and pour it all over my kitchen floor this morning while I popped to the loo for like 2 minutes!

My youngest got out of his crib when he was two, covered his ENTIRE BODY, including his hair, in zinc oxide ointment and then baby powder (cornstarch based, not talc, not poisonous). We were cleaning that stuff up for weeks.
