You leave the kids in the kitchen for two seconds and return to find frosting covering the linoleum and their naked bodies. Your daughter, attempting to make her first sandwich, drops the mayonnaise jar, sending mayo flying from the ceiling to your foot. You return home to find your new puppy has chewed every piece of furniture you own. Snap before you snap! Grab the camera and snap a few pictures. They'll be plenty of time later to yell, cry, clean, or lock yourself in a padded cell.
