Hair care

Today, my shower is being renovated so I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I put my two year-old son on the counter next to me so I could keep him close. As I was rinsing out my hair, my son started playing with the light switches. He flicked the garbage disposal by accident. FML

Seriously, what could possibly happen to an unsupervised 4 year old playing outside alone. Should be fine.

Too little to play outside by himself, and he's 4?? I guess if you don't have a fenced yard that might be right, but otherwise, if you do have a fenced yard, I'd say it's fine to let a 4 year old play outside by themselves.
