We have a park a few minutes walk from our house and we took GS, then six, to play with a ball there. It has a pond which is fairly shallow, and the ball went in. Grandad said “that’s it, we’ve lost it now, I’m afraid!” GS squatted on his haunches and surveyed the problem very seriously. Then he said “Grandad if you stand on that big stone you might be able to reach it.” The big stone was about two feet from the edge. I immediately said “No! NO!!” Grandad, never one to turn down a challenge, stood on the big stone, which immediately tipped over and launched him into the water, where he sat while GS and I howled with laughter. Upside? We didn’t have far to walk home. Downside? His phone went in as well, but dried out in the airing cupboard. GS “dined out” on the story for ages much to DH’s embarrassment.
