A lesson all parents must learn is that you can’t turn your back on children for even two minutes.
In that time your sweet angel will somehow managed to wreck the house, cover themselves in something gross, or paint their entire face pink.
Even pet parents need to be cautious.
If you’re lucky, you’ll learn this lesson by having your child do something naughty but ultimately harmless, – or at least easily fixed – that you can share on the internet to make everyone laugh.
Such is the case for Arron Whysall, 27.
The dad-of-two was outside in the garden fixing a fence while his fiancée was doing her hair, leaving his three-year-old daughter, Olivia, alone in the kitchen for 10 minutes.
When he returned he found Olivia grinning and smothered in yoghurt with 18 empty pots of Petit Filous on the table in front of her.
Arron asked Olivia if she had eaten all the yoghurts herself in such a small space of time, she proudly replied ‘yes’, still holding her spoon.
Arron was so stunned he couldn’t even find the words to tell his daughter off.
We can’t blame him. Downing 18 yoghurts in 10 minutes is pretty impressive.
After wiping a lot of yoghurt off Olivia’s face, Arron took a photo of the amazing eating feat and posted it on Facebook, where it ended up being shared more than 10,000 times.
Arron, of Nottingham, said: ‘She was quite pleased with herself about it. I just thought fair enough. I couldn’t even tell her off for it because it was just too funny. I was more overwhelmed than anything.
‘I couldn’t believe it. I shouted my partner down and she said “there’s no way she has eaten all of them”.
‘But I told her, “I think she has because she’s just told me she has”. It really made us laugh. She obviously really enjoys those yoghurts.
‘They aren’t massive pots but just the way she’d got them out the fridge, opened and eaten them all then was sat there still with the spoon in her hand as if to say “give me more” was so funny.’
It makes sense that Arron was stunned by Olivia’s stunt.
While he was outside working in the garden, Arron kept popping in and out of the house to check on Olivia, who was watching television in the kitchen, and her brother Oscar, six, who was on his Playstation in the living room.
When his son emerged to tell him Olivia was eating ‘a yoghurt’, Arron told Oscar not to worry as he knew Olivia could manage to open and eat the Petits Filous on her own.
But when Arron went into the kitchen just 10 minutes later to make sure Olivia hadn’t made a mess, the last thing he expected was to discover the three-year-old had eaten every single yoghurt in the fridge.
The mum and dad were worried the excessive dairy intake might upset Olivia’s tummy but the little girl was her ‘normal self’ and still managed to polish off her dinner.
Arron said: ‘She does love her snacks. She doesn’t really eat loads at dinner or tea time but if you offer her a yoghurt or fruit, she’ll always find room for it somewhere.
‘We did have to pre-warn her grandparents that Olivia had eaten 18 yoghurts and asked them to keep an eye on her but she was fine.
‘She was her normal self and ate all her tea, we couldn’t believe it.
‘She’s such a little character, she keeps us busy put it that way.
‘If there’s mischief to get up to, Olivia will be the first one there.’
