New #ToddlerDnD Feat: Intrusive Thought
Once per scene (in combat, per round) Toddler class characters are mandated to roll D10 based on the Intrusive Thought Random Table, and immediately act upon the results of the roll.
Here's another gem from the collection of poetry by Arab women. This one was written by Hamda bint Ziyad (12th century), who wrote love poems to women.

They deafen us with their gossip and no one can unmouth them.
So we stormed them with your eyes and my tears, and finished them off with sword, fire and flood."
