Just remember if you're bathing the baby in the sink - unplug all the nearby appliances so you don't electrocute the baby when he or she randomly grabs hold of a cord and yanks (like my Mom did to me.)

Luckily, we lived almost across the street from a hospital. As Mom tells me, when she returned, the front door was wide open and the water in the sink was still running.

(I wasn't actually killed during the electrocution - I know you were wondering how it ended).

Also, don't leave hot irons ironing boards when baby is crawling and trying to pull up on things.

And don't leave baby aspirin laying around where your child might think they are candy and eat the bottle. (not that they give kids aspirin anymore or that they don't have child proof caps nowadays.)

Sheesh - looking back - it's amazing she didn't kill me!
