      Judgment Day

      Written by honesttoddler

      Toddlers, I told you this day would come.

      You’ve waited, alone and ignored, while your mothers spent hours on Pinterest* trying to convince the world that they too are capable of making cinnamon rolls from scratch.

      You’ve rolled up to the park wearing bows the size of compact discs on your head; Michael’s craft store abominations of glue and plastic flowers.

      You’ve sat naked in potato sacks and on wooden benches while your parents Instagramed ridiculous photos of you adjacent to wheelbarrows.

      It is finished.

      Both websites are currently down thanks to Anonymous Toddlers, a special team of brilliant teething minds (they’re biters). We can’t promise that the sites will stay down. Adults are a crafty bunch. But this will be a warning.

      PARENTS: Our demands are simple.

      • Spend less than 15 minutes a day on Pinterest. Use 14 of those minutes searching for new cake recipes. Bake that cake.
      • Instagram us if you must but do not spend an exorbitant amount of time trying to achieve the perfect shot. Do not make us eat Instagram-approved foods just for the purpose of said shot (corn on the cob, homemade fruit leather, homemade cheese, etc.).

      We await your response.

      Expect us.

      *It has come to my attention that Pinterest is back up. Seems as if a key member of Anonymous Toddlers was distracted by a leaf outside the office window for a significant amount of time. Then another team member noticed a nearby construction site and the entire group went outside to watch for several hours. We’re trying to get them back on task but nap time is quickly approaching.

      Dear HT–

      Up until today I was unaware of this Anonymous Toddler org. I am rejoicing in their mission and would like to know how I can help. I, too, do not have enough cake in my life and would like more, particularly of the birthday variety. (last night mama said no birthday cake. So I said, okay cookie. She denied me both. I may have already had a cookie, but that is beside the point. )

      Eagerly awaiting instructions. I have an iPod, a slide whistle, and a wand. Am willing to use all three to advance the cause.

      Yours in frosting and giggles,
      IZ

      Dear HT
      I am awaiting orders. I have two laptops & bag of chocolate chips (sadly, no cookies) at your disposal.

      Dear HT,

      I noticed a while back that my mother seemed glued to her computer; she mentioned something about school? A better life? Homework? Sounds boring and I felt like the computer was trying to take my space. So I did what any other awesome toddler would; I removed all the keys from her keyboard. She cried. Yelled. And I think she said something about a panic attack? Either way she ended up spending lots of time holding me on the couch, so long in fact I felt like it wasn’t much of a cuddle but she was secretly trying to strangle me. The keys were replaced but I kept the letter “M” as a reminder of my awesome revenge. She still can’t find it. Its been two years. Stay strong HT; Pinterest can’t win if she access it.

        Whipped cream in a can is way more fun than frosting!
