Quiet Does Not =Being Good

When it comes to kids, quiet is not synonymous with behaving. I fall prey to this error more than I'd like to admit. Which is ridiculous because I should know by now, that in the preschool set especially, quiet= mischief.

Thankfully, I was listening in spite of myself. Zack and Ben were playing in the front room and I happened to overhear, "It's going to be a really wet ride."

Huh... wonder what they mean... fish tank ... (my thoughts aren't always in complete sentences. Should they be?)

I ran in and sure enough they had the lid off the fish tank. And the car they had been playing with was floating toward the top.

Sorry fish. I'm truly sorry.
