Baby Proof

I was baby sitting for a friend recently and had every confidence that I could care for the kids without a hitch. Watching the kids was easy. We played with action figures. We had a snack. Everyone went to bed. Not even one tear or fight or boo-boo.

However, when I tried to open the cupboard with the glasses to get a drink . . . no dice. There was a child proof lock on the door and I, for the life of me, could not out smart this little device. I almost got my finger stuck in the cupboard trying to unlock it! I don't know why I am such a dummy! All I wanted was a drink of water from a small cup, but since the glasses were locked away, beyond my mental capacity, I ended up uses a fancy mug of sorts. Oh well. At least I was thirsty anymore, but I sure felt dumb.

Have you seen that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Baby Mama? Well, Amy Poehler (the uneducated, classless, lovable idiot) ends up peeing in the sink because she can't work the baby-proof toilet seat. Is that me? Yes, Sarah, yes it is. Well . . . almost.

I guess I better get things figured out since I'm baby proofing my own cupboards now. And I certainly don't want to pee in the sink. No way.

(Seems like it would be easy, right?)
