How's this for scary:

A few weeks ago we put our beat up old portable TV in Bethan's room so she can be like her big sister and watch a video before sleep.

It works a treat and she loves it...to the point where she's not only learned to use the TV and VCR controls, when we pull the plug out the socket in order to stop her sticking yet another video on to watch, she's learned how to put the plug back in and carry right on watching.

Now here's the dilemma: Do we take the TV out of her room and invest in plug socket covers, or do we praise her up for being a clever little madam?

She's three years old by the way.
