Why Leaving A Daddy In Charge, Even For 2 Minutes, Can be a BAD Idea!

Awww...So sweet. She's absolutely adorable, in my humble opinion. However, any seasoned, veteran Mom will be able to tell just by Sophie's expression that she has a mischievous streak. My baby girl is curious,to say the least, and has absolutely no fear. At all. She must get that trait from her Daddy!

Anyway, true story. Last night, or should I say the night before last, Sophie woke up cranky at around 11:00PM. We were downstairs watching Khloe and Lamar on the DVR, so we changed her, fed her, and ended up just letting  her toddle around and do her thing, since she clearly was not going back to sleep and we didn't want her to wake Xander up. Dan was about to have a beer, (EWW!) and was eating Tasty Cakes. I had to go to the restroom, so I trusted that my husband would keep a close eye on Sophie, who likes to get into everything in sight.

While I was in the bathroom, I heard a LOUD popping sound. It almost sounded like an air-rifle being discharged! I ran out of the bathroom, and I see beer SPRAYING all over the room. Dan was so busy eating his chocolate doohickeys that he didn't see Sophie grab his unopened beer can off of the coffee table. She apparently grabbed the beer, went over to the table that houses our 46 inch widescreen TV and cable box, blue-ray player, etc, and BANGED the beer can on the corner of the table, causing it to literally explode! There was a big gouge in the can, and beer had covered half of the family room. Unfortunately, it also drenched our multi-room DVR/Cable box. And killed it. Dead. I guess the beer got into the ventilation slats and fried the inner-workings of the box. It won't even turn on! It's not too big of a deal, because it's being replaced and we had another box in the basement we brought upstairs. But it's funny that one curious little girl could do so much damage in 2 minutes and that her Daddy was too distracted by his chocolate to even notice what was about to happen....

And the funniest part? It was his last beer. :)
