Aaaahhhh...
A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from my wife when I was away on business -

"MiniSteamedCleaner has just written his name without any help whatsoever for the first time..."
"That's great!"
"...on the dining table..."
"Ah."
"...with a permanent marker."

Normally these phone calls start with "Guess what *your* son has just done" (he's never ours or hers when he's done something bad) but she lulled me into a false sense of security by missing out on the normal "shit has just happened" signal.
