Toddler Lessons: in less than a minute

Here in another edition of "Toddler Lessons" we present evidence supporting why the acceptable amount of time toddlers can be left alone is ZERO seconds. Why zero, you ask? Because those little buggers are fast. Much faster and smarter than our adult brains are able to comprehend. Leave the toddler alone in the living room while you go to the bathroom? Sure - what could she even get into? Answer: A LOT. Here are some recent accomplishments of our toddler, all performed while left unattended for less than a minute:

1. Find a pen and apply to face as "make-up"

2. Take apart decorative dried flower arrangement and break apart into little twigs. (Okay, in fairness this wasn't unattended...it was actually right in front of three adults who were too distracted to notice.)

3. Find a pink highlighter and add artistic flourish to coffee table

4. Toss about room multiple baskets of clothes mom just finished folding
