When the cat is away, the mice will play, right?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Kids are synonymous with doing the most outlandish things when they are alone, and last week Jane was the victim of those childhood adventures.

Kids are adorable, lovable, and downright amazing, but sometimes they make me wonder what makes them do the little mischievous things they do? They are cute, but I dare not say this to their faces.
I've seen videos of siblings duct-taping each other to walls, spreading butter over each other, tripping one another, and the list goes on. Last week I had the opportunity of witnessing my two boys do the most 'special' things.

The other night Mr T and I headed off to a parents evening and when we got home, I wondered why the nail scissors were out and why there was hair all over the bathroom counter and in the basin? I didn't question it at the time because I could not have definitely guessed what this meant. No one was crying either, so I took this as a good sign and went to bed.
I was woken in the night by my boy Rocco who was limping his way to my bed and when I asked why he was limping, he said that he and his big brother were wrestling on the bed and he twisted his ankle. How?!

Come morning time and Cooper arrived at my bedside looking like he was part of the band 'Die Antwoord'. A huge chunk out of the front of his fringe was hacked out!
I posted a picture of Cooper's new hairdo and the response to this picture was incredible. We all have a similar story, I remember cutting off my sister's hair in the garage when we were little (I'm sorry)...

I know I'm not the only one here, we all have a story or two to share about the crazy things our kids do, so I want to know from you, what is the craziest thing your child has done while you were away?
Maybe you were the rascal kid who cooked up plans whilst your parents away? I'd love to hear from you too...
