And the picture of that cute little hulk proves the theory that babies naturally maintain the parental tolerance for misbehavior equilibrium by balancing their trouble with cuteness. Just look at that guy! Could he possibly be any cuter? You know those parents are in trouble.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Holy Shit. &amp;nbsp;I'm not surprised by the black eye. &amp;nbsp;I bet one of my toddlers could do that to me given the right conditions. &amp;nbsp;But punching through a plaster wall? &amp;nbsp;I'm not an athletic person so terms like &amp;quot;Iron Cross&amp;quot; don't really register for me. &amp;nbsp;But my childhood neighbor's dad was a 250 lb anger management class drop-out. &amp;nbsp;He punched holes in the walls all over their house. &amp;nbsp;And broke his knuckles regularly in the process. &amp;nbsp;I'm not sure I could make a hole in my plaster wall with the help of a baseball bat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's to hoping that little boy grows up to use his super-powers for the forces of good.&lt;/p&gt;
