28-year-old full time mum  Kellyann Boocock from Hartlepool, was pleased to find her toddler son had managed to brush his teeth all by himself. But her delight turned to despair after he wedged the toothpaste lid in the plughole and turned the tap on whilst her back was turned.

After an hour long trip to drop her older son at nursery, she returned home with Ben to find water dripping down the walls of her living room and a massive gaping hole in her kitchen ceiling.

‘The sight that greeted me when I opened the front door was dreadful,' she told the Daily Mail, ‘I instantly ran upstairs and turned the tap off in the bathroom, then plunged my hand into the sink and found the toothpaste cap stuck in the plughole. It suddenly dawned on me that Ben must have turned the tap back on after I had turned it off'.

While she got Ben's brother Jaydn ready for nursery, however, Ben picked up the plastic toothpaste cap, dropped it into the plughole and turned on the tap before making his way out.

Leaving Jadyn at nursery, Kellyann and Ben returned home to find the downstairs flooded. Ben walked into the kitchen, turned round and said ‘ Mummy, it's raining!'
