After we went to the Decatur Celebration, the girls wanted to eat McDonalds. I did not feel like it so I told them, we would get Mom Chinese buffet takeout and then go to the McDonalds drive through. We went in and the girls(like they always do) stopped to look at the fish in the small fish pond inside the Chinese restaurant. I gave them the rules that they were not to touch the fish or the water. I went to box up the food. I was partially done, when they came over to see me. I told them to go back and watch the fish. As I was finishing up, Leeza came running and told me that Sasha had fallen in the fish pond. I went to see what happened -expecting to see her shirt a little wet. When I went around the corner, I saw the very proper Chinese lady that runs the cash register standing there with about 100 napkins in each hand, patting sasha's head. She was soaked from her head to her shoes.
She had about a 3 ft diameter puddle of water around her feet. The Lady kept apologizing and I thought that was strange since it was my kid that went into their pond. Every time I looked at Sasha, I started to laugh and she would start to cry and say Why are you laughing at me?
I tried to figure out how she got so wet. The pond is less than a foot deep. Leeza tells me that Sasha was looking at the fish and she bent over and basically summersaulted into the water. The lady at the restaurant gave both girls suckers to keep them from crying. Fortunately, I had some towels in the van since we had been swimming Friday. The only bad part is now I can't show my face in my favorite Chinese restaurant for a long long time.
