Top Ten Reasons You Don't Let Demon Baby Near Water


1. He will drown your tomato plants.
2. He will drench your front hallway with the garden hose he brings inside.
3. He will hose you down when you are on your way to a meeting.
4. He will create a LOT of mud.
5. The dogs like mud.
6. He will "wash" your bathroom mirror with a combination of toothpaste and soapy water.
7. He will see which household objects float in the bathtub.
8. Your favorite book does not float.
9. Neither does your hairbrush or your underwear.
10. Your kitchen ceiling will eventually give up from all the water leaking from UPSTAIRS . . . into the DOWNSTAIRS.

Okay, seriously, you need to gather up all these blogs and whatever other capers he's gotten into and put them in a book and have it published. It should be mandatory reading for all new parents.
He's providing you with enough new material you could create a sequel every 3-4 years.

I second Pitawoman's comment. You really need to write a book about the DB.
