Life is Funny - Especially when you can laugh at your child.

Don't worry folks, the wait is over. It's time for another round of Life is Funny! Sign up below and add your funny. I know you've got some funny...

If you read my post the other day, you know that we went to Great Wolf Lodge. You may also remember the giant bucket 'o' water that periodically gets dumped on unsuspecting people below it. If you missed that post, check it out here. Make sure to watch the short video clip, too. I'll still be here when you get back.

Ready?

First let me start by saying that my daughter is a big ol' chicken. She doesn't like to try new things and even gets scared of things she's already done before. I had to force her to go down one of the smaller waterslides while on our trip. I'm sure she'll be in therapy for years over that one. I'm such a mean mommy.

If you watched the video, you saw that under the giant bucket of death was a play area with a big contraption you could climb around in. It was so cool! It had water cannons that you could shoot at people below you, small buckets that you could fill and tip, and all kinds of other fun features. It also had a little bridge. It would take about 4 kid-sized steps to get across it. Well, guess who was afraid to cross it? Yup, my daughter. She refused to cross it without me helping her. I refused to go help her. So there she stood, unmoving. I called to her to come across, but she just wouldn't budge.

Well, at least for a while she wouldn't.

You see, while she stood there refusing to move, the giant bucket of water was filling up above her. And while I was safely under a covered roof, she was not. You guessed it. She got pummeled by 1000 gallons of falling water. Being the kind, considerate mom that I am, I stood there and laughed at her. She wasn't too happy with me about that one. But you know what? She came over the bridge on her own after that one. Sometimes it pays to listen to your mother so you don't become blog fodder. Muahahaha!

Ready to play? Here's what you do.
