Like the time my then 2 year old dumped bright pink nail polish all over my mother’s beige carpet. Or the time my older two (1 & 2 at the time) dumped eggs and shredded cheese all over their bedroom floor and proceeded to smash it into the carpet with their feet.  Did I mention that was in an apartment?  With brand new carpet?  That we had had only lived in for a month?
