You know you have children in the house when...

Once my boys (now 17 and 13) started walking it was like having a poltergeist in the house as nothing was ever in the place where you left it. Keys were a classic, remote control etc.
My husband took the stereo to be mended once as the CD changer wasn't working. It was duly mended and came back with a coaster out of the cassette slot.

I think I must have elves because nobody has eaten the chocolates out of that tin...

a dent in your band new MBP lid. She almost flew across the room I could tell you. Mrs M quickly came to her rescue

Along with the children comes a "Mr Nobody" who is responsible for all the naughty things that happen when you're not looking, including ramming a whole toilet roll into the loo.

Elves I tell you, elves!

A follow up to the Roses tale: a few weeks later we were missing the majority of a bag of bite-size Mars bars. Of course, we looked straight at DD who strongly denied wrong-doing even though the wrappers were under her pillow. No1 Son protested his innocence and was adamant that it was the evil sister. But there was a problem with this, because she doesn't like Mars Bars........No1 Son was most miffed with himself for not remembering that!

Roses here...maybe the trick is to buy dark chocolate.

Or lace some with mustard!

No 1 son decided to change the sugar for salt as a dad trick. I had to get in the middle after Mr VVG had some in his coffee...

you can't get out of your house and have to climb out through the window to
get your keys which have been thrown into the back yard through the cat flap..

...you find Clinique lipstick worked in to your bedroom carpet and your two year old daughter wearing the same shade as a beard! Kid you not!!

[Glutton4...]

All of the above comments just go to prove I'm NOT mental for choosing to not have any of the little bl**ders!

Mmm I have one of those too...although he doesn't eat chocolate, but he does say "it wasn't me!"

MBP = Mac Book Pro? If so - OMG

[chris]

Yup. I'd have not minded so much but my wife dropped my PowerBook (previous model to the MBP) the week before, so we had to buy a new one.

Next up... being awake since 2am. :| Felt bad for getting annoyed with her, as once I showed her there was no scary lady in her bedroom she said "seren sorry daddy"

< hanging this morning.
