Funny Guys

Have you seen those toys that "grow" when placed in water? Examples include "Grow a Dinosaur", "Grow a Frog" or "Grow a New Brother." These dehydrated toys usually double in size once hydrated in a glass or bowl of water.

Lucas received a "Grow Your Own Football" for his birthday. He placed it in a bowl of water, then left to take a shower. As soon as they heard the water running, Basil asked Sammy to go fetch a real football. Sammy, laughing, ran and got the only inflated one we have (unfortunately, one without white stripes) and replaced the tiny football with the full-sized one.

Later, when Lucas wandered to the kitchen, he saw the bowl, ran excitedly to it and started to shout, "No, wa--" until logic rushed back to his brain. Sammy and Basil, patiently waiting at the kitchen table, thoroughly enjoyed their trick!
