I had a meeting today at family's house that we go to church with. I obviously had to bring Kyle along. They have three teenagers that love Kyle to pieces, and he adores them too. Anywho, their mom put them in charge of Kyle for the duration of our meeting.
At this point I have to make a side note that this family has a bench seat in their family room, and they had an angel fish in a vase-like tank on top of the bench seat.
Back to the story... at one point I heard Kyle come up the stairs, but thought nothing of it because the teenagers were supposedly watching him. All of a sudden we heard a big THUD in the family room, but no crying. In my mommy mind I thought "huh, I wonder what Kyle tipped over" I hopped up super fast and ran into the family room. There I saw Kyle sitting on the floor with the fish vase (which had to weigh about 8 lbs. - 1/3 of Kyle's weight!) but no, it wasn't tipped over, it was sitting upright, and there was no water on the carpet. While frustrated that Kyle had been playing with the fish vase/tank, I was pretty impressed that he had gotten it down without tipping out the water. But then...I noticed that there was NO FISH INSIDE the tank. After some squeals on my part about the missing fish, and not being able to see it, one of the other ladies found it, I scooped it off the carpet with a cup, and helped it back into its water safe and sound. Here's the thing...Kyle's arms were wet, but I repeat, there was no spilled water.
The rundown:
- Kyle's arms are wet
- There was a fish outside it's bowl
- No water on the carpet or window seat
Crazy!! The kid has talents we are just discovering! Who ever said a two-year old couldn't catch a fish with his bare hands?
