It is a bad idea to attempt to do yoga with a baby crawling around at your feet. It is also a bad idea to do said yoga in very baggy pants. The result: you’re doing yoga in your underwear, with your pants around your ankles, trying desperately to stay balanced and relaxed as a little person is tugging on your leg while making sad little pleading cries for your attention. Namaste.
It is a bad idea to believe in your Wii Fit age. This is always true, but especially so when you are doing the test while one little monkey is either trying to balance on the board with you or is squirming in your arms, and another bigger monkey is trying to sit on or kick the board because he wants to be a part of the fun. Boy, do kids age you!
It is a bad idea to use knives to fix everyday problems. Little cars rolled under the stove? Use a knife! Need to open the back of that toy for new batteries? Use a knife! Old sticker clinging to life on the kitchen floor? Use a knife! Pretty soon, little monkeys start walking around saying “I need a knife!” for everything. And when said little monkey is big enough to reach kitchen counters, soon you’ll find him walking around the house with a steak knife, on a mission to save his cars from wherever they’ve wandered. Maybe a ruler next time?

Thanks, Sammie! Some things just beg to be shared.
