One summer evening Kent, Missi and Kathi had gone out and Lindsay and I were home alone. I was blanching corn to freeze for winter. Lindsay kept busy crawling round and round (you could make a complete circle through the downstairs). Having her underfoot was not too bad, except when I had to drain the boiling water, so I would lead her into the next room, then run ahead and be done with the boiling water before she would catch up.
As I'm working away in the kitchen I realize I haven't seen her in a bit. I go to check, and discover her hanging off the side of the aquarium! She's holding on for dear life, but won't make a sound because she knows she shouldn't be there (it's only a foot drop to the floor; the aquarium sat on a end table next to the stairs... she simply climbed up two steps and onto the table.)
But the fish were well fed that night...... and for the next couple of days. :)
