Extra-special Water Gun
It happened again. My son had a bath and came up with something outrageous. I don't know what it is about him and bathtime. The water must get his creative juices flowing.
Anyway, he came out of the bathroom grinning from ear to ear. You know what that means. He was definitely up to something.
"Okay," I said. "What did you do this time?"
He whipped out an object from behind his back. "I made this."
I looked at that thing. It was a Johnson's Baby Shampoo bottle. And it was filled with water.
"Yeah, so?" I said.
"So it's a super-soaker-extra-special water gun."
"It is?" I just didn't get it.
"Yeah, look. Here's how it works: You aim the gun at someone, then whap the bottle really hard. The cap goes flying off, and the person gets soaked. Do you want to see how it works?"
"Um, no thank you," I said. "Please keep your extra special water gun in the bathroom. It's a very dangerous weapon!"

children - - gotta love 'em :) I envy their innocence and sense of fun !
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'd call it mischief!
DeleteHaha, very creative (along with dangerous). I get good ideas in the shower, too! It's a popular idea-generator for writers. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah. I find the voices inside my head speak a lot when I'm in the shower. LOL!
DeleteBoys! ;) I'm sure I never would have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a boy thing!
DeleteLOL I did that a time or two as well, it works real good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you came up with something like that!

DeleteThank you for choosing me as a blog to follow. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSure! Thanks for visiting me!
DeleteTalk about innovative...
ReplyDeleteI love how kids can find something interesting in the simplest of objects...
This is exactly what goes on in my mind when I see my kids ignore all their fancy toys. Just give them a box or a bottle, and they're occupied for hours!
DeleteIt's a joy to capture those special moments with the kids. They'll thank you when they get older.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we'll look back on a lot of these moments and have a few laughs!
