Evil steps

The step. A common object in most homes with children, it helps them reach the sink to wash their hands, helps them reach the worksurfaces to help in the kitchen etc. In my house it is known as a bad behaviour enabler. I spend my days swearing at the step every time I find that the chimp baby has carried it somewhere to do something naughty. This can be to the toilet sink to flood the bathroom, to the kitchen sink to chuck all the clean dishes into the water with the dirty dishes, to help him climb onto something else to reach something that has been put up high out of his reach, to get to his brothers Lego starwars sets, to turn the oven on (yes really) and to get into the chocolate cupboard. The step is the spawn of the devil in my eyes. The bad behaviour enabler. The bane of my life. I end up having to hide it if I'm going to the loo so that he can't create havoc in the 30 seconds I'm gone. It's currently living on my toaster although it's only a matter of time before he finds something else to step on to be able to reach the sodding step. Incase you haven't yet guessed, I'm not a fan of the step.
