Would You Laugh or Cry?

I wonder if they will ever get pocket money again

My kids did a similar thing - only at least it was outside and my TV wasn't involved.

I left 4 litres of stain out (I was staining my treated pine retaining walls) and the kids painted the side of the house, the bushes and each other with it. Initially, I nearly drowned them in the toilet but I realised the following:
1 - Who was the idiot that left the stain out,
2 - Who encouraged the kids to "help" while I was staining the retaining wall,
3 - They did a near perfect job. ;-)

So, I would say laugh, then cry later when the cleaning up starts.

The fact that I took a photo of it would mean I was laughing.

The fact I didn't video it for Â£250 from You've Been Framed would mean I was crying.

Whether my insurers would pay up for something like that would determine how long I laughed or cried.

Great photo!

i spose it depends if you have kids or not (in my case not) ... but if that happened to me iÂ’d laugh and cry at the same time ... then try sell them to the gypsies or trade Â‘em for a camel!

hehe all the stuff my sister has to look forward to with her little one

I guess motherhood is out of the question then.

Well I love kids - they are funny and sweet and we were all one at one point. ;-)

I can think of plenty of adults that are annoying a stupid, and they don't have the excuse of age.
