Preemptive Cleaning

I hear a gushing sound. My 2 year old has found the carpet cleaner that my husband was using the night before, and is generously pouring it onto the carpet behind me as I read on the computer. I take it away and go to put it back in the laundry room, only to find that Philip has now been "drinking" my coffee that I left on the desk and spilled a substantial portion of it onto the spot where he had previously spilled the cleaner.

Everything comes out. No harm, no foul.

(when will I learn to take my coffee cup with me!)
