Sad, but True

Elise opened the drawer on the china cabinet and took out a shot glass.  Elise opened up the drawer on the china cabinet and was digging through all of the stuff so I looked in there to see what I could give her to play with.  I found a plastic shot glass from Senor Frogs when we went to Mexico.  She carried it around and seemed content with her new "toy."  Suddenly, her little brain went to work as she headed over to the refrigerator and held it up to the automatic water dispenser.  She turned and looked at me.  Either to see if I was going to say "no" or to get my attention to show me what she was GOING TO DO no matter what I would say... which she does from time to time.  I just sat back and watched her to see how this would turn out.  Surprisingly enough, she successfully pushed her shot glass hard enough to actually get a little bit of water to pour into it.  Now what is she going to do with that? I wondered.  Maybe try to drink it?  Maybe pour in the dog bowl?  I started to make my way towards her at the very minute she dumped it all on the floor.  She was devastated! She threw down her shot glass and started wailing.  All of that hard work only to be spilled on the floor.  You would have thought it was an adult who was really PO'd because REAL alcohol had been wasted.  Lord, please do not let this be foreshadowing.
