Well my youngest, who is now 16, but at the time was 2, got into the basement and climbed up on my modeling bench and did what daddy does (she's closer than even she could have imagined).
She spent quite some time mixing new paint colors and testing them out on a diorama i was finishing (green brick was her choice). Luckily she did not get into the blades and toxic stuff i had down there. Fortunately I've always used acrylic paints so we threww away the clothes and scrubbed her for a couple of hours. Needless to say daddy had a fit when he found her down there slathering paint on everything that didn't move. My father (a yeller) would have been proud of his son (another yeller). It didn't bother me so much that she was mixing and painting away, it was the thought of a 2-year-old within grabbbing distance of scalpels, raxor blades, xacto knives, toxic cleaners and crap I wouldn't touch without a breather.
Turns out mommy (now ex) left the basement door unlocked and lost track of the toddler. She forgot the first law of toddlers - silence = bad. Anyway after Dad's face got red, and his eye's did the Jackie Gleason bulge, neither made the mistake again.
The long term damage was that for months I'd open a paint color and get some weird shade that didn't resemble Panzer yellow or khaki or olive green... |
