Toddler Gets Through White House Barricade and Onto Grounds
Washington Post ^

Posted on 04/13/2015 9:39:16 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Dana Hedgpeth April 13 at 11:52 AM Security at the White House was again breached Sunday after a 4-year-old toddler got through a security barrier on the property.

The incident happened Sunday afternoon when security agents rushed to the north lawn with their weapons drawn and checked out the area.

They discovered that the toddler had managed to climb under a temporary barrier along Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House gate. The barrier looks similar to a bike rack, officials said, but is meant to keep pedestrians away.

It was not immediately clear how the child got through the secured area. The child was reported to be fine and reunited with the parents.

I was just discussing the concept of “toddler” with my boys yesterday. It was a fine exercise in category development.

“Kathleen is a toddler.”
“No, she isn’t. She’s 3! That means she’s a preschooler.”
“But we don’t go to school.”
*long pause*
“Well, she’s a 3-year-old. They’re not toddlers.”
Frank: “Eli’s brother is a toddler.”
Loud scoffing and derision. (Eli’s brother is 8 weeks old.)
Kathleen: “I’m not a baby. I’m a girl!”
All: “You’re a baby unless you use the toilet.”
Kathleen: “TOOOOOOOOOOM!”
Tom: “All of you KNOCK IT OFF!”

We agreed that a child is past “toddler” when he is 2, unless he’s physically impaired.

Maybe the SS have had enough of Bozo,and his Rick James look-alike wife, and just don’t give a Shiite.

The current occupant really wants a massive security fence around the White House to replace the quaint nineteenth century wrought iron job currently surrounding it. These absurd breaches make the case for him.

“... You’re a baby unless you use the toilet..”

Hysterical! We used that line as well. It worked about the same... :)

That’s a hilarious peek into the daily life of the Tax-chick household, lol.

Can’t believe Kathleen is three already. Wow. Sounds like she’s the life of the party! Poor Tom, hehe.

Tom - 6’3” and 260# - is Kathleen’s private Brute Squad, and Kathleen is Tom’s tiny Evil Minion. Her heart will be broken when he goes to his summer camp job for 8 weeks. Maybe we’ll have time for toilet training while a few teens are gone. A baby can’t learn to use the bathroom when some else is always in there!

That’s funny. She’ll practically have the throne all to herself, lol.

A few teens gone? Never mind Kathleen, the *fridge* is really going to feel abandoned!

I consider a toddler as one who toddles.

You know, unsteady on their feet, unsure about their abilities.

My daughter is 3.5 and climbs, runs, hammers nails, uses a power screwdriver, etc., so I do not consider her to toddle any more, which is sad, because my baby is growing up.

It can be a learning opportunity!

We are smart alecks in my house, and with only one child we did not always lock the door. So when daughter would barge in ask what I was doing I'd say

"Pooping.

On the potty.

Like a big kid.

You should try it".

I told my daughter she should use the toilet “like her brothers,” but then had to reconsider. They make an awful mess.
