These parents left a camera on their twins. What happened next is beyond cute.

Party all night.

Children will do whatever the heck they want, whenever the heck they want. That's the lesson these parents learned when they took a look at some home security footage and saw their twin toddler boys sneak out of their cribs and play in the middle of the night.

Andrew and Ryan Balkin are twin 2-year-old boys, and they have plenty of fun when their parents turn off the lights. They even do a little cleaning up after themselves afterwards.

But there's no getting around Mom and Dad, who bust them good, eventually.

What could the two be chatting about while they lay side-by-side on the love seat?

Perhaps they're talking about Nietzsche's stance on morality and religion. Maybe they're chattering about politics. Or maybe they're talking about Spongebob and poop because they're two years old.
