Sweet mischievous Emma
It's hard to imagine how this sweet thing can be so dang mischevious and destructive. In the past few weeks, my lovely 2-year old daughter has done the following:
- Drained an entire bottle of anti-algae chemical into my 10 gallon fish tank. You're supposed to add 14 drops per day in the event of an algae bloom.
- Found a bottle of liquid anti-fungal medicine and shot it up her nose.
- For no apparent reason, unscrewed the lid off a sippy cup full of milk and threw it. The spill covered 10 square feet of floor.
- Broke the battery compartment on the remote control.
- Broke two retractable window shades by yanking on them too hard and too often.
However, it's hard to be mad when she looks at you with her puppy dog eyes, and says, "I'm sorry daddy."
I think I managed to save 8 of the 10 fish by removing them from the tank as soon as I could. For a day or so, some of the fish weren't acting too well: swimming upside-down, and sideways, but somehow I think the remaining 8 have managed to pull through. Of course the fish tank inhabiter's union is sure to be pressing charges.
