Meet Platty the Puss. He's awesome, and has green eyes AND nostrils. I made him myself.

I'm also on antibiotics, so take all enthusiasm with a grain of salt. But I had to brag, and the kids love him--it's their reward for not figuring out the new childproof device yet.

What happens when a mother of twins takes five minutes to check her email? How about this:See that white square on the top right corner of the cupboard door? That would be the childproofing device. You know, the one that failed. The black box that the Bear is standing on would be the VCR. The metal box to the right of the VCR would be the DVD player, turned upside down. All those DVDs were, five minutes previous, in a box in alphabetical order. Many of those painstakingly alphabetized DVDs were now, at this point, under the rug.

It was, I should mention, 9:00 in the morning.

Of course, as you can see below, he did have help. See how politely the Bird is explaining how to disconnect the various electronic devices, speaking from experience. And if you go by the look on the Bear's face, he did nothing wrong and is purely an innocent bystander--an innocent bystander STANDING ON THE VCR.
Below, the Bird tries to convince me of her innocence, too.Sorry, kids, I'm not buying it. Hannahdog doesn't have opposible thumbs. Best to you all, and happy cleaning!
