Bad Ideas in Parenting

I'm not pointing any fingers or trying to lay blame here or anything, but WHOEVER decided to decorate sugar cookies with a three-year-old right before bedtime? That was an unwise decision. Furthermore, WHOEVER decided it would be cute to let her decorate said cookies with as much icing and candy corn and sprinkles as she wanted? Again, unwise. But WHOEVER IT WAS, and like I said, there's no need to try and lay blame here or label people as "right" or "wrong"... but WHOEVER IT WAS that let her eat the cookie with a half-cup of icing, 27 cand-corns, a string of black licorice, 5 M&M's candies and a fistful of rainbow sprinkles? THAT PERSON should be ASHAMED of himself. Themself.
I was taking a shower, attempting to get the rest of the icing out of my chest hair before it hardened, when I heard somebody THROWING themselves at the bathroom door screaming "DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!" Fearing a home invasion or a Government mandated Death Panel telling me that my number was up... I opened the door and said "WHAT?!?!"
Molly stood there, nekid. "Daddy... I'm Naked." She said it very matter-of-factly, as if to say "I don't know how this happened and, quite frankly, I'm ashamed". Then she smiled, screeched and ran to jump on our bed.
And then she bounced. A lot.
