Check

The highlights of a daily checklist utilized by a set of 20-month old twins:

To do:

Throw food on the floor

Wipe oatmeal in hair

Knock on bathroom door saying "Bath? Bath? Mom? Bath?

Use the word "mom" 3,942 times before lunch.

Bite sister
Hit sister
Hug sister

Push buttons on phone
Push buttons on remote
Push buttons on blue-ray player

Dump out book box
Dump out toy box

Leave finger, face and tongue prints on all accessible windows and stainless steel appliances

Sneak into big brother's room and steal Legos, marbles and/or chalk

Try on every pair of shoes in the house

Trip and fall while clomping around in dad's shoes

Accompany siblings as they attempt to practice the piano

Empty the cabinet full of Tupperware

Empty the silverware drawer

Attempt to get hands on a pen or pencil.... If successful, quickly create as much wall art as possible before being apprehended

Squeal and arch back when mom attempts to fasten carseats or stroller buckles

Pull barrettes and elastic a out of hair

Take of all clothing... Be a nudist for as long as mom will allow it

Cover all open floor space with stuff for mom to step on... Squishy things are best

Turn a light switch off and on at least 75 times.

"Help" with the laundry and dishes

Beg for bits of anything someone else is eating

Scream and thrash while having teeth brushed

Do our part to fill the landfill with diapers

Lick the handle of a shopping cart

Throw a tantrum

Carry a kitty (millie) or a baby (ev) around everywhere

Be cute so mom can muster the wherewithal to chase us around again tomorrow

Could not stop laughing. Why is it always funnier when it happens to someone else?
