Lessons in Parenthood

1) Leaving small children unattended while you go to the bathroom, especially when you've accidentally left out both the wipes and the lotion, results in a wipes snowstorm and Large Fry "conditioning" her sisters' hair (one badly enough that she required a second bath to wash it out) and the couch.

2) Huggies wipes are tough stuff. Two of them survived running through the washer.

3) Telling Large Fry she needs to use a spoon instead of a fork to eat her corn will result in Large Fry getting a time out because she (a) threw her spoon on the floor, and (b) began to scream while sitting at the table. It's her second time out for the day, and for pretty much the same reasons as the one at breakfast.
