Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I’ve been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

    Do not sit them on a couch, no matter how confident in their equilibrium you are. Did this once and kid rolled forward smacking head on coffee table. Kid probably fine today, but I will never be the same.

      Oh boy, good warning! I was thinking we might watch some hockey together so that’ll have to be done quite carefully if at all.

        This is the reason for all the throw pillows. You take them off the couch and place them strategically in areas where the kid could roll/fall.

        At 13 months this works; at 18 months the daredevil gene kicks in and the kid will dive from the couch to make sure the cushions work…

          Ooooooh, I love this! (The 13 month non daredevil version. For 18 months, I’m thinking duct tape.)
