Neighbour texts mum to say her toddler is standing in the window in the nip

Melissa Carton

I think we’ve all had stuff like this happen.

Toddlers are a law unto themselves. As parents we may make the rules but a two-year-old will always figure out a way to break them.

My son once got a hold of a bottle of glitter nail polish and painted his stomach and legs with it which was an absolute treat to wash off.

My daughter recently caked a load of play dough into her hair which once again was a joy to get out.

They just wouldn’t be toddlers if they weren’t getting up to mischief.

Nobody knows this better than this one mum who received a surprise text message from her neighbour about her child’s lack of attire.

Mum Jeni Boysen posted to Facebook to share a screenshot of a photo message her neighbour sent her and we can’t stop laughing.

“Ya know. Sometimes you think you’re doing okay at life and then you get a message like this from a neighbor. I just cried I laughed so hard.

This is exactly the laughter I needed tonight.”

The photo shows her two-year-old standing completely naked in the upstairs window of her house. I love how he’s standing there so stoically as if it’s his business to be there, sure what else would he be doing?

The original post was shared over 100,000 times along with some ‘we’ve all been there’ comments;

“Hahahhahaha I have one of these of my kid too!”

“LOL this is hilarious!! Sounds like something one of my boys would do!”

“Well this made me laugh anyway, hang in there Mom.”

Surviving the toddler years can be a struggle sometimes but it’s a lot easier to get through if you learn to laugh at the mayhem that they cause.

And trust me there will be plenty of mayhem.
