	I'm pretty sure you fail as a parent if you don't take a picture of that. Everyone knows you'll need photographic evidence if you're going to do a proper job embarrassing them when they bring home a date for the first time. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I am ever so grateful my parents don't have a picture of the time I painted the walls of my (freshly redone) room with butter. e.e; (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, I think I was also spared any pictures of the time I cut the poor cat's whiskers off because I thought they were getting a little long. Or the time I zipped her up in my suitcase to make sure she didn't run away... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My 3 year old daughter zipped our cat into her little suitcase. Then the zipper got stuck and she drug the suitcase down the stairs to me to help get the cat out. Thunder is one easy going cat, he still loves the kids after that. My daughter wanted to take him to Grandma's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LOL the suitcase I used was a tiny one that said "I'm going to grandma's house." My cat was skittish before the incident, though, so I don't think I helped matters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Haha I had that suitcase! I used to use it when we traveled (which meant my parents had to pack up most of my stuff with theirs). I don't think I ever put the cats in it, but I did dress them up in doll clothes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I attempted to dress my cat in doll clothes. She put up with it for five minutes, then bit me and squirmed her way out and left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When I was young, I did the same thing with my cat. Except my kitty put up with it remarkably well. She even let me pose her and stayed still while I took pictures. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I have a FANTASTIC picture of my kid when I thought she was taking a nap and she was actually (very quietly) painting herself (and her bed, and her wall, in our old apartment) bright teal with a stamp pad. She's all excited, holding her teal hands out towards the camera, and being very proud at being a slightly off-color Smurf.

(Well, I say I have a picture, actually my mom took it after I called her and calmly said, "Please take your granddaughter for an hour or two?" Bless my mom for realizing, "YOUR granddaughter" was code for "I am about to lose my shit here, pls help me.")

	Speaking of blue toddlers, there is, and one day will be scanned, a photo of my little sister, covered in blue paint, clad in a nappy, asleep on the footstool of the kitchen sofa. Yes, it has been shown to boyfriends. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Better if you have a camcorder, like my gadget-loving dad. We have his wonderful video of my little sister and I from 1993, when I was 5. My parents woke up one Saturday morning to find the two of us covered with the contents of an entire jar of baby cream. When my mom asked us (between bouts of hysterical laughter) what were we doing, teeny me pouted and told her that it's a "diet for stupidheads", while glaring at my sister. Really, judging by how cranky I looked and the fact that my sister was making her best innocent face, she probably started it (though I managed to get more cream on her since I was bigger).

Out of all my super embarrassing childhood videos, this one's my favorite.

	Eventually, I will stop finding this hysterically funny and will no longer be walking around snickering about it. Oh, it won't be today. But it'll happen eventually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
