Flooded my fecking house!
Discussion
In a brilliant example of parenting I sat on PHs earlier while one of my b
d children did his own thing upstairs.
Eventually, the 2 year old urchin wandered downstairs to see me and I noticed he was completely soaked.
I ran upstairs to discover he had turned the taps on in the sink and dropped two loo rolls in to make sure the drain and overflow was fully blocked.
I expect he had one tap on full for a good 20 minutes or so as when I got there the bathroom was at least 1cm deep in water and the river of water and loo roll had flowed into the corridor down the stairs and then 3 meters into my bedroom.
The (new) carpets and underlay were so soaked that the water was dripping through the ceiling downstairs soaking both the garage(with lots of stuff 'stored' in it) and the sitting room.
Although I obviously tried to pretend to my wife when she came home that I only left him for a 'couple of minutes' the vast amount of water everywhere make my protestations look a bit unconvincing.

k wk st piss arse bd felching y bd I shouldn't laugh as it's not really funny.... but many of us have all suffered similar...
I left our eldest when he was about the same age as yours and came back to find he had thoughtfully 'coloured in' the beige suede sofa in my office... to this day I have multicoloured stripes and smudges... can't get the bloody stuff out!!
Got to smile at them really!

Oh dear 
That's kids for you. I remeember many years ago babysitting for some friends in France. They came back to find me sitting in the dark (electrics fused), the front window smashed (football) and a similar flooding situation to that you have described.
Never been asked to look after them again for some reason.

Isn't the garage suppused to be sealed from the house (for fire reasons)?Teenage daughter of some friends of ours just did the flooding thing - she was running a bath and took a phone call and didn't notice the house flooding.
There didn't look to be much damage but the insurance loss adjustor / estimator? insisted they would need the bathroom chipboard flooring replaced, which meant ripping out the suite, so they got a new one (had to pay a nominal contribution towards the new suite), and had the bathroom retiled. Some water went through the ceiling but dried without leaving marks but caused the downstairs (poor quality) wooden flooring to start to lift, so they had that redone right through. The mother is thrilled to bits at having all the work done for next to nothing.

Ah. Thanks for the warning - I'll put that in my little book of tips for future reference...
Something like 'Don't leave tiny children in a position where they could easily drown themselves'?

I once did a similar thing. After a rather heavy night out I decided to have a bath (bad idea). I can remember running the bath, thinking how great it was going to be - at the time I was convinced I could rehydrate my alcohol riddled system through osmosis - and then being angrily woken up by my mum, asking what the fk happened.
She led me downstairs (bath is upstairs) and showed me the massive damp patch on the ceiling in the lounge, with a torrent of water running down the light bulb and dripping on the floor.. Seems I had run bath and then promptly fallen asleep just outside the bathroom door.
I was NOT in my mum's good books.
