Okay, perhaps, it was the shower head, but regardless, it’s pretty impressive that my 13 mo. old daughter managed to drench me.

The scene: Girlfriend was having a horrendously fussy day and the need for an early bedtime was clear. After setting my son up with dinner, I whisked the cherub upstairs for a “quick bath” so I could stash her in her pj’s. As I was frantically trying to sponge the wriggling maniac down, I was hit with a deluge of water. Somehow, the little princess had managed to turn the shower on. I was so flustered and screaming, that by the time I figured out what was actually happening and how to stop the downpour, I was drenched. Fantastic. In this moment, the truth became clear–my children are winning.
Even cooler–I was scheduled to deliver a meal to a neighbor that night. At this point it was almost 6pm, so the meal had to go out NOW. No time for anything fancy like drying off or changing. The moral of this story–should you ever answer the door and find this Mom of the Year standing on your front porch, dripping wet in the style of a drowned rat, just assume that she has indeed been schooled by her children–and please, don’t ask any questions.
