Oh. My. God, JackMN...
I just came upstairs to determine why I heard water running, and found that JackMN had busted into the upstairs bathroom, turned on the water to the sink (full blast,) plugged the sink somehow, and flooded the ENTIRE bathroom floor. The water was spilling out into the (carpeted) den.

It took every towel in the house and half a roll of paper towels to soak it all up.

:banghead:

1. I am so sorry lol ...
that picture says it all.

When I have kids I am so looking forward to the joys of their childhoods and what many water spills it will bring.

5. Use JackMN to soak up water....
... then send him outside to play for a few hours. In his wet clothes.

flip locks.

The only thing that worked to keep mine from escaping to the great outdoors for a while.

8. Did he "help" with the cleanup.
:rofl:

I have had to clean up floods like that and I know it's definitely not fun. In fact, it's a back-ache waiting to happen. But JackMN is so adorable. I'm sure he had fun. :)

11. He was trying to help you clean the bathroom floor! It must have needed mopping!
;)

I once found my little (toddler) brother bailing water out of the toilet with my mom's plastic shower cap! Mom wasn't too happy about that.

14. Truly inspired! When my brother was little,
he decided he wanted to take a bath - in my parents standup shower. He covered the drain with a wash cloth and sat down and proceeded to take his bath. My dad went to check on him and knew something was up when the carpet was wet in their bedroom. He had flooded the entire bathroom floor.

JackMN and my brother (who is now 28) - kindred spirits.

26. I just love your
JackMN stories. Although he seems challenging at times, you handle yourself with great finesse, mastery, competence, and ingenuity. You should be writing a journal and ultimately write a book. It would certainly be a best seller.
