Sometimes, when things are going too smoothly in my household, my kids will come up with the darnedest things to keep me on my toes. At 5 am, my 3 year old wakes me up after he had a nightmare and wakes up the baby. The three of us snuggle on the couch and fall asleep. At about 8 am, I hear my daughter's door open. And then I fall back asleep.
Five minutes later I wake up to the smell of Italian food, and look up just in time to see my 2 year old little girl standing on a kitchen chair, emptying a bottle of paprika into the fish tank. By her feet are the empty bottles of oregano and basil.
My husband said she was helping me decide what was for dinner. Rest in peace little fish!
