Trust Issues

Whenever we leave the house for an extended period of time (in this case, extended means longer than 5-minutes) we baby-gate Rocco into the kitchen. We have serious trust issues with our boy.
But recently, we started to discuss that we need have a little faith in Rocco, especially since he will be 2-years old next month.
Which in human years would make him a 14-year old boy.
Um, that should have given us a clue.
Yesterday, We were going to leave the house for a few hours, and decided that it was finally the day to trust Rocco. So we Rocco-proofed the house.
Key: Rocco proof means my husband and I walk around the house, making sure anything harmful or destructive or expensive or sentimental is removed from his line of vision.
And then we left.
For 45-seconds.
My husband discovered that he left his bottle of water on the table, so we drove around the block and while I waited in the car, my husband walked back into the house to get his water. Apparently, Rocco had already raided the bathroom garbage and was in the process of eating the toilet paper off the roll.
He lasted less than one minute before getting into trouble.
But then again, what parent would trust a 14-year old boy?
