What Is It About Children & Puddles?

For the first time in a few weeks the weather has been fairly nice. Nice enough to just walk in a coat...no need for a brolley, or a hood up on the coat, nor a hat...

So me and my 4 year old went out to the park. On the path there's quite a few potholes...and it's been raining for days before.

She'd see these water-filled potholes and just gravitate towards them and splash about, laughing her little head off.

Funny, of course, until she splashed me!

Oh, the life of a child! To be that age again...

This story reminded me of this gem! I hope it was worth it, through all the splashing :P

@SW-User Y'know, I wholeheartedly agree! I was brought up by my sister, mainly, who instilled that in me with books, movies and life in general.

@AmberDuponte Brought up by your sister? That already sounds like a pretty unique backstory. Could be why you seem different to most, in a good way! :)

@SW-User There's a big age difference between us - sorry, @SammyJo ! - and she fed that creativity in me, I think...

@AmberDuponte Did you mean to respond that here? I don't see SammyJo here and I think we're around the same age, but to each their own if it bothers you, no worries :)

@SW-User Yeah, she's ok with it. She's on here sometimes, not all the time. No, I was just bringing up that, because of the age difference, she had more of a life experiential thing going off and stressed just how important keeping that child-like mentality going and nurturing it.

@AmberDuponte ohhhhh, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I can see that definitely making a huge impact in how someone grows up.

Hello, older sister! :P
