| Take a hot bath with bubbles, forget all your troubles (Caption I read on a bathtub advertisement when I was 13 and never forgot) |
Naturally, bath time followed our rainy day excursions.
This called for bubbles, of course. There are few things more purely delightful than a child giddy over the sight of bubbles. It is so worth the slippery floor and light-headed dizziness.
Bubbles.
Floating
popping
swirling
laughing
catching
waving
glittering
dancing
gold.
Did you have a favorite bath-time activity as a kid? Rubber ducky, bath crayons, fizzing bath salts in bright colors?
-DD
How about wasting every single one of my mother's nice liquid soaps and shampoos in order to do "science experiments" while in the tub? That was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAlso, those nasty little oil capsules that were shaped like innocent things, and certainly seemed jolly enough until you squeezed them and they blinded you in the eye like a spitting cobra.
Ha ha-Christine, when I wrote that question those little oil capsule things shaped like sweet little hearts and stars were the first thing that came to my mind! That is so awesome-I think it squirted you in the eye, not me. I'm sure I was with you at the time though, that was when we were way little living on the farm!
