Sprinkler Surprise

Again the children played outside as I made their lunches today. Henry and Evelyn raked some leaves into a pile, and baby Vivian pushed a big black truck around the yard. This morning the children spotted inside a yogurt package some tongue tattoos (which I was going to toss), and they remembered them after they ate their picnic lunch. We were inside applying bunnies to their tongues when we heard a distress cry from Vivian. I went running, and she stood on the paved area outside our patio with her arms outstretched, "ALL wet!!" she uttered sadly. She was drenched. Robbie changed the program on the sprinkler system, and it went off on her as she played in the grass. She was soaked to the bone. "Oh, poor baby girl," I said as I rescued her. Evelyn sweetly offered to undress, dry, and change her. Bad daddy. Noon is not a good sprinkler setting.
