Of course my parents could know nothing about this.
I checked to make sure no one was around. The dog was sleeping, dad was at work, and mom was downstairs working...
I guess my mom was either so focused that she didn't care what her 2 year old was doing, or she thought I was sleeping, but my plans to build the gigantic swimming pool began.
The wood floor in my room was good enough I figured because it would hold a lot of water.
And this way I could easily just jump out of my bed in the morning and go swimming just like Ariel did in The Little Mermaid.
The only thing to do was begin filling several cups full of water and throw them on the floor. Since I was pretty small, the water would be deep enough soon enough and then all my fun would begin.
Visions of me in my water wings kept crossing my mind as I continued to fill the room with water. I was like a rabid hyena, laughing and running and filling the room up.
This is when my mom realized something was wrong.
My room was right above her little office area in the basement.
And water was starting to drip down through the ceiling near her computer.
My room wasn't holding water, and it was starting to take longer than I thought to fill the room. My little body was starting to get tired and the water was getting heavy to carry.
So my mom caught me.
I was pretty disappointed. My mom was pretty mad. Good thing I was the cutest kid ever and they couldn't do anything to me! :)
Hahaha, the first ad that popped up on the site was for indoor swimming pool remodeling.
