Always put them in a playpen when you need to step away, even for a minute.

A child who calls 911 because it makes the fire truck appear is smart enough to escape a playpen in seconds...

Forget playpens, those were for mere mortals.
She could go over kid gates (even 2 tall) like spiderman - I so wish I had thought to video tape that.
After a while the only thing the gates were doing was injuring the adults that tripped over the gates or trying to go through them.
As with all kids they quickly grow out of that phase right in to another one ;)

Another one to watch out for is when they start dialing 911.
Finally come to find out she just wanted to see the fire truck like the one on Disney TV. We only found that out after several visits by the local PD.
Best of luck.

Hah that happened as well to me. We thought we caught it in time BEFORE she pressed talk, nope she did and we got a call back. Yes they are FAST.

Yup same here. That was fun....they had to come out and check no matter what I said. After that phones went up on a shelf.

I can vaguely recall embarrassing the crap out of my Ma with such acts as figuring out where the off button was on escalators
and
back when there were huge cash registers at stores like Sears, that had rows of buttons for each decimal for the prices entered & each salesperson had their own drawer in the stack
I figured out how to pop the drawers open

If my Ma dared turn her back on me, I was at the register or escalator in 2 seconds...

You should never use Windex on LCD screens.

Raphion posted : I somehow never realized you could order replacement taps so easily. I just ordered a set for the reverse reason, I never have children here, and don't want the child proofing, besides the fact that my child-proofed hot tap lever broke long ago, and it's only a little stub now.

So thanks for that.

Sounds like some kids need better upbringing.

LOL You obviously don't have children. It doesn't matter what you do as a parent, they are little people and have minds of their own, and therefor they get into trouble.

Warzau posted : Wow guess I had best luck here. My girls never did that when they were infants, toddlers. Though I did have ONE incident, my daughter who was 2 years old tried to clean the laptop screen, unfortunately she used a emery board. I think now is the best time to tell them "no" to certain things. I am all for baby proofing and safety. But there is a time when you need to tell them what's off limits. I did when the computers and stereo equipment,etc. Thankfully it has worked.

I can sense it already. I thought this week was enough of "new tricks" as he keeps dialing people stored in the caller ID of our home phone. Called the plumber three times, Chase once, and a few other people. Now he's emptying water on the kitchen floor. At least he's not banging on my laptop's keyboard like an irate chimpanzee anymore, since the phone and the water bottle dispenser has distracted him. :)

Thanks for the help everyone.

If you rent the unit, check with the distributor. They may have a free or nearly free solution for you.

When this happened to us, we owned the unit, and I contacted the manufacturer. At no cost, they sent us three locking red "HOT" taps that worked fine for years. Sure, it would have been nice to have white and blue ones, but beggars can't be choosers.

there is a water store in my town that sells water, beer making supplies etc, they have part for these things, maybe there is somthing like that in your town?
