After a nice Asian stir-fry dinner complete with egg rolls and a fortune cookie, we realized that our pets' water container was bone dry. We have the kind that has a pop bottle filled with water that dispenses water when the bowl is empty. Both the bowl and two liter bottle were empty. Scott thought that it would be a great idea to take the pop bottle and poke a hole in the top. The reason for doing this was to prevent the glug, glug, glug sound that would startle both Mickey and Simba. I went to go sit on the couch because he was making me nervous with the knife he was using. He thought I was being a "nag" and worrying for nothing. All of a sudden, I hear a whoosh and notice that Mickey is lapping up the floor. Scott is saying a few choice words and calling me to come into the kitchen quick. I see a huge puddle of water gushing out of the pop bottle. All over the rug, floor, and wall. We frantically picked up the water bottle and grabbed a towel. Simba and Mickey helped us out by licking the remaining water up. Once the mess was semi-cleaned, Scott and I glanced at each other and burst out laughing! We grabbed a pop bottle and I asked Scott NOT to put a hole in it. Law of Physics revisited!
Lessons Learned:
- Don't poke a hole in a pop bottle when you are using the bottle as a water dispenser. It creates a huge flood!
- What a mess! Working together gets it clean faster.
- Laughing really is the best policy!
