I just had a nice hot shower and something happened that was so
hysterically funny that I laughed myself silly! Tessica sees it as her
job to be the official Bathroom Superviser - whenever one of us has a
shower, she plants herself on the edge of the bath inbetween the
curtain and the liner, and she supervises to make sure that we don't
miss any bits. Sometimes she paws at the water drops on the clear
curtain, but mostly she just sits there and watches. I was halfway
through my shower tonight when she noticed a bit of dark-coloured lint
down at the far end of the tub, and started pawing at it... she jumped
right into the tub to try and fish it out but she failed and jumped
out again to consider her options. I didn't really want her getting
wet, so I picked up the shower hose and washed the offending lint down
the drain - and she thought this was the greatest game on the planet!
She chased the floating lint down the tub from behind the shower
curtain, and when it went down the plughole she jumped right into the
tub again (at the wet end this time) and started frantically pawing at
the plughole to try and get her toy back! I laughed so hard that John
came in to see if I was alright or if I was having hysterics!
Tessie loves the bathtub and spends hours playing in it when it's
empty, but that's the first time she's ever jumped right INTO the tub
while the water's running - I wonder if it will be the last? She
didn't seem the least bit horrified by the nice warm shower - if
anything, she liked it! Obviously nobody ever told her that she's
supposed to be scared of water!
