Daniel filled his own cup from the self-serve soda fountain.
He has never done this before because I don't like risking him spilling all over himself on the way back to the table (which would mean much screaming about wet clothes and having to leave right away so he can change).
Luckily, my husband does not walk around thinking about how to avoid such mishaps.
So Daniel filled up his cup with lemonade.
He filled
and filled
and filled
and filled
until he could see the lemonade rising above the top of the cup.
He called to my husband to help him, because it was about to spill over the sides.
After the cup was safely placed on the table without incident, he exclaimed,
"Thank god for surface tension!"
ROFL!
Boy that kid is smart!
