Interpretation
Seinfeld’s simile turns toddlerhood into a piece of kitchen slapstick: a two-year-old is powerful, noisy, and constantly in motion, but also uncontrolled—like a blender running without its lid. The humor depends on exaggeration and domestic familiarity, but it also captures a real parental experience: the sense that a toddler’s energy and curiosity can “spray” chaos into every corner of daily life. The line suggests that the challenge is not the child’s vitality itself (the blender works) but the lack of containment and predictability (no top), a comic way of describing how parenting at that age can feel relentless and messy.
