Kids are into everything. Everything you can think of from oatmeal in the toaster to a whole beach full of sand clogging the tub drain. Parents think they know what they are gettng into when the kid is born, but they do not know anything until they encounter the Sticky Finger Phenomenon.
Baby (henceforth known as Junior) and the rest of the family had pancakes for breakfast. Mom told dad to put away the syrup after breakfast was over, but got distracted with watching the news while getting dressed. Junior, freshly cleaned but still with breakfast baby bib on his neck, is released by his mother from the confines of the high chair. Thus set loose, he spies the syrup from the living room where his mom put him. As he is in a walker, the world is his oyster and makes use of the added mobility. Scooting as fast as possible across the living room and into the kitchen, Junior reaches for the syrup...and manages to dump the whole bottle onto the tabletop and thus onto the floor. As it was pouring onto the floor, the stream was intercepted by the tray of the walker and started filling with syrup. Junior, fascinated by the brown substance ever since breakfast (20 minutes ago, a very long time), reaches out to touch the stuff and is instantly enamored. Covering his hands and his feet (it is all over the floor) Junior lets out a squeal of delight and bolts across the kitchen and back into the living room where all the electronics are. Junior knows the syrup is magical and he must spread the brown and curious feeling substance over the TV and the DVD player.
By the time mom finishes the dishes and realizes what happened, Junior has spread his sticky stuff all over the living room and into the kitchen. You see, the sticky fingers are not those of the baby, but yours- the parent. When that much syrup get spread throughout the house, everybody's fingers are going to be sticky.
