in less than 1 minute...

we came home from music class and picking some things up from the grocery and as per our usual routine, we give percy a milk bone. so i decide (bad, bad judgement!) to let quinn hold the box of milk bones and give 1 to percy, just as we ALWAYS DO. i return to the garage (yes, the door to the house is open so i can hear him, don't worry) to get the last 2 bags of groceries. now, if you have not been to our home, please note it IS NOT huge. the time it has taken me to walk from the kitchen to the garage and back to the kitchen is MINIMAL. however, when you have a quinn living in your home, nothing is quick enough. i turn the corner in the hallway to see that quinn has pushed one of the nook chairs over to the sink, and he is standing on it. i said "what are you doing?!?!?!?" he replys (matter of factly) "putting water in it." insert panic here. "you are putting water in WHAT?" i say back as i round the corner of the counter so i can see what his precious hands are holding. he says "percy's milk bones." he is holding the CARDBOARD box of milkbones and is filling it with WATER, at this point it is about half full. NOOOOOOOO! ack! (but yeah, it is kind of funny) we proceed to talk about how this is not a good thing to do as percy barks up a storm wanting the now moist and oh-so-fragrant smell of milk bones. ah...little boys. have fun alyson!
