Ha ha, so true! Especially the computer paper and ATM! And I have girls, so I'd like to add a new one: when stressed, or bored, or happy - just do cartwheels!

I have experienced every single one of these firsthand. Great job nailing the finer points of toddlerhood. I also always liked "If I put my hands over my ears I don't hear you and you'll go away".
