Seems like our kid…….

One of my cousins used to be this chubby and round cute thing when she was just a baby. You could roll her over like a football (not that any of us tried lol). She has just learned crawling. Now you can imagine little kids become little cute menaces when they learn how to move. And she did too. I swear she gave mine and hers mothers run for their money since she would crawl into different nooks and corners all over our home. They would spend half the time looking for her and making sure that she stayed at one place. And obviously that didn’t work since she would start crying at top of her lungs not liking being confined to one place at all. One day my little cousin managed to crawl out the front gates and no one noticed. She went around the corner of the pavement in front of the gates and slipped falling into the drain which was opened due to some work going over. Luckily at that same moment my father was returning from his work and saw a tiny head peek over the side of the pavement. He frowned. He hurried over and found my cousin sitting calmly not at all bothered inside the drain and in fact grinned her baby grin. (Oh! I should clarify that the drain wasn’t deep enough to hurt her. ) So, he pulled her out. (I should also add that Mom and my aunt got a very stern talking to from my Dad that day.) This incident should have made it clear enough to say that babies are huge responsibilities. A moment’s carelessness, even though it was unintentional, could be disastrous.
