This all happened in one week:
My 1 1/2 year old discovered he could throw things in the kitchen sink by standing on his tippy toes and stretching his arm up and throwing the item over the counter. Then he started throwing everything he carried into the sink. We instantly recognized this as a bad thing and tried to get him to stop. He wouldn't have any of that.
Then I was washing dishes in a sink full of hot soapy water and he ran up and I saw something go "plop" into the water. I thought "hmmm, what was that?" So I reached down to find my cell phone in there. The brand new one. I grabbed a bag of rice (brown, which was all we had) and took the battery out and let it sit overnight. The end result was that the phone part still works but none of the side buttons do. No texting, no photos. I'm in the market for a new stupid phone.
Having a clean kitchen and being a little overwhelmed, later in the week I stopped at Papa Murphy's to get a pizza. I knew it was illegal to leave your child in the car in the parking lot even when you are just running in to pick up your order, so I took him, got the gigantic pizza, and carried it out to the car. I put the pizza on the hood of the car while I buckled him back into the car seat, then I went to get the pizza right as a wind gust came across and lifted the pizza up and flipped it upside down onto the parking lot! I stared at it for a moment, then flipped it back over to see the damage. They wrap those things in so much saran wrap, that it was mostly okay, there was just a small heap of zucchini and cheese on the parking lot. A nice man from the pizza place (they do have those big windows, you know) came and offered to make me a new one. We examined it and I thought it would be okay, but I agreed to let him take it in and "fix it up". He rearranged the ingredients and added more cheese and zucchini to it, which was awesome. The end result was a decent pizza with no complaints of gravel in any of the slices!
