Be careful what you say

Small made a very muddy puddle at the bottom of the slide and then dropped his toy fimble in it. He came to find me to tell me all about it, ever so upset.

Never mind, I said, he’ll just have to have a bath later. And went back to reading emails. A few minutes later I heard water running, but assumed it was Tim upstairs. A few minutes after that, Small reappeared, with a much cleaner, and very much wetter, fimble.

Oops. 😆

    You’re very welcome any time you want to come over this way :0) Would definetely take you up on the crochet – and I’ve been having some interesting ideas re. a handmade loom (a step on from the last one I made), just need to find someone that’s more proficient with a saw and hammer than I am!

  4. LMAO.
    Just be grateful that it was only a fimble that got very much wetter!
    And the crochet is fab! Can’t believe it’s this easy – waiting for the glitch…

    Clever boy! At least you didn’t discover it by water dripping thru your ceiling 🙂 so he’s not only learned how to bath a Fimble, he’s learned how to do it without flooding the bathroom 🙂
