Most people cope well with chaos. It's the mayhem that keeps me on my toes. Mayhem being our two-year old son. He's full of imagination, a total ham, and loves to give hugs and kisses to his momma...and the dogs (the order varies!). Every day I learn something new, and often times have to clean up whatever lesson he left for me.
Here's some of those things:
1.) Spray starch (a whole spray bottle to be exact) makes a wood floor very slippery...until it dries and becomes one of the strongest adhesives known to man.
2.) Potty training consists of standing ON the toilet and aiming...for both #1 and #2.
3.) You can teach a new dog old tricks...with a twist:

6.) The "uh oh" you hear just before the toilet flushes means you're buying someone in the house a new tooth brush or he just gave one of the dogs a swirly.
7.) Handing a two-year old a water hose...is just plain dumb:
