If love is water

The potty

Tiernan was on his bouncinette watching everyone in the pool. He had been swimming and was relaxing in the shade watching the palms moving with the slight breeze. It was h-o-t today. 37C was reported in the city.

I caught Caelin about to pour a bowl of water on Tiernan. I didn’t make a fuss; I took the bowl and cars from him and put them away. I turned my back for only a few seconds when Tiernan suddenly started crying in distress.

Did Caelin think, “I’ll fill my potty with water from the pool and tip it over Tiernan. That’ll be fun won’t it?”

And that’s exactly what he did. Tiernan usually laughs when Caelin attacks him but he got a shock. He loves the water and loves dipping his head under.

But no one likes water being poured over their face, do they?
