PARIS (Reuters) - Two three-year-old twin boys who disappeared from home then reappeared hours later without their clothes had been off wreaking havoc in a neighbor's empty house, French newspapers reported on Thursday.

Police initially feared an abduction by a pedophile when the missing boys were discovered late in the evening walking through their home town of Deols, western France, stark naked and holding a bedside lamp.

But a call from a neighbor to report a suspected burglary revealed the boys had broken into a nearby house and gone berserk, emptying out drawers, bouncing on beds, scribbling on walls and gobbling up orange-flavored vitamin pills.

The twins discarded their clothes after getting covered in shampoo and toothpaste after a rampage through the bathroom, squeezing out bottles and tubes.

They grabbed a bedside light and took it away with them thinking it would help them find their way home in the dark.

The boys' parents will compensate the house owners, daily Liberation said. It did not say how they would punish the twins.

So... was she French?

Nope! - Just three!

I didn't know Madonna had twin boys.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

I doubt it. My youngest is six and tried to shave the dog not long ago.

Good thing I don't have a reporter living near my house. This sounds like what my 5 and 3 year olds try to do to my house every single night.

[michigander]

Let me guess. They surrendered without much of a fight.

"Mine just turned 4. He turns manageable now, right?"

I had a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I finally got them down for a nap and snoozed off too. When I awoke, I just had that "feeling". As I went down the hallway, I noticed the toddler's clothes. Her shirt, her socks, all the way to the open front door.

There she was across the street, dancing happily in the neighbors lawn sprinkler. Completely naked, of course.

I just hope I get this posted before she catches me retelling this. Now that she is 13, I have lots of stories to embarrass her with.....

My first thought was, "there go those wacky Valentine brothers again!" But then I noticed the article said "three year olds."

Just some peace protestors in the making.

When I saw your ping, I had just gotten off the phone with my daughter, whose son was trying to climb into the fireplace while laughing hysterically. I hope all three of my girls have ALL BOYS! :-)

Note to self: do not buy French LOCKSETS, either.

Aren't you're supposed to be counting crows or something?

[ohioWfan]

Are these guys related to the Dixie Chicks?? Older brothers, maybe??

As the mother to three children, I can only say-

"BWAHAHAHAH...."

Enjoy it while you can little ones!

Counting is done. Glueing is almost done, so I have a few spare minutes to cause some trouble around here.

Guess what, JVb? All the crows for the Garofalo Awards are minus their feet.

The only crows' feet to be seen on Saturday will be on the faces of the media whores attending the WHCA dinner.
