So on a sunny Sunday afternoon after a full weekend of playing, running, and getting dirty, Charlie decides its time to get out the hose. So he dutifully waters the flowers, trees, grass, driveway, car, house, windows, deck, deck furniture, and eventually his sister on her bike.
In the backround he vaguely hears his mother say "ok, time for dinner, put the hose away please, and come inside. NO MORE SPRAYING WITH THE HOSE"
...fast forward 30 seconds.....
Mommy again goes out on the deck and says .."time for dinner!!"
Imagine her surprise and angst when around the corner come two sopping wet, dripping kids, with water in their shoes, fully clothed and also.....covered in dirt.
Needless to say, the Mommy was not the happiest at this new development when dinner is sitting on the table getting cold ....with company over....chaos ensues.
So that night before bed... she hears....
Mommy, what if it is NOT time for dinner... then can we squirt each other with the hose?
the mom smiles...Yes Charlie.
