I guess most of the parents have met some messy at home caused by some misleading our that our children have taken advantage of to do something out of the ordinary. That box of markers that we have left on the table, the pot of flour that for a mistake we have left within reach of the little ones, the shopping basket that we have left anywhere because we were hurried and we would already pick it up then etc.
They are those kinds of situations to which the little ones know how to get more juice, where what is a complete disaster for us was the idea of the century, you look at them and ask them to explain why they have done it trying to glimpse the most minimal feeling of guilt, and that does not usually appear. It's when you wonder if babies feel guilty or live in parallel universe when we talk about treated.
To me, one of the things they used to tell me when my oldest son started to move on his own was that of "The days of peace are over for you," "you'll see now that he can go wherever he wants to go". And the truth, I have to say that it was not a child who made too many cramped, it is more, right now I do not remember that he made any that stand out.
So we trust and careless to protect drawers, cream cans, electronic devices, etc. The only thing we did was to protect the plugs in case one day he had to put something in them, but nothing more. And we lived in peace until his little brother arrived and began to open cupboards, drawers, to take out the boxes and not be able to leave him alone for a second with a marker.
It was to leave them alone for a quarter of an hour, return and find that they had dedicated themselves to emptying the contents of the boxes they have with their paintings throughout the house. And you stand in front of them, with your best responsible father face and a "Do you think it's pretty what you have done?" etched in the look, hoping to get a "sorry" or something similar and what they answer to us is the pure and hard truth, They have done it because they found it funor. They just need to tell you that it's my fault for not understanding them.
And is that many times I think if we are adults who may be "too grown-up" or that what we call feeling guilty only seems from 20, because when I looked at my childhood the only thing that worried me when I was involved any of those was the anger that I was going to fall and the punishment, because of course the idea had seemed very good, perhaps its execution had gone a little wrong, but nobody is perfect, isn't it?
That same must have thought Solomon, the boy in the video below who must have thought that if the diaper cream was good for his culete it must also be for the rest of the things. Do not get lost, almost reaching the end, as he almost starts to cry, not because he thinks what he did is wrong but because his father does not understand what he has done, wonderful child in a pure state (and a joy that it is not none of mine, I have to recognize).
Put the subtitles of the video, unless you can speak Dutch.
And yours, have you bundled many?
