Sending streams of water over trees and plants is fun for awhile, but he needs bigger, better, more Mommy-size targets. I tell him in a stern voice not to squirt me and amazingly we have five minutes of success. I get distracted by the knee-high weeds in the vegetable garden and kneel down to pull, essentially making myself a static target. David: Mommy, look at the cool way it squirts now. Mommy: That's great, but watch where you are squirting. I'm over here. I swear he doesn't actually aim at me, but I get wet. Mommy: Arggh! That's it! Squirter off! I'm going in! I set him up for failure; I knew he would fail; he fails. Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
