One Of Those Moments.....

The other day I had one of those moments as a Mom that you hear about and dread happening to you. We had some friends over for dinner and we were out in the family room when I noticed Rilyn grab Jeff's travel coffee mug and say she was heading to work. I didn't think too much about it, but recently Rilyn has been getting into a lot of things she shouldn't be if I don't keep an eye on her at all times. After a few minutes it dawned on me that I should go check on what she was doing, especially since it was so quiet back in her room. As soon as I rounded the corner I started to put the scene together, Rilyn up on one of her chairs next to the fish tank, the lid of the tank off and her drinking something out of the previously empty coffee mug. She must have seen the fear on my face because her initial response was "I'm just drinking some water, Mom." My jaw dropped and I asked where she got the water from and she just looked at me and confirmed what I feared, the fish tank! To top it off, Jeff has been talking about how he needs to clean the tank because it is SO DIRTY, but hasn't gotten to it yet. This has got to be the grossest thing I have ever seen and it was my daughter who did it!!
