Lungs aren't made for breathing under water and other such stuff

Submitted by DPenn on Thu, 09/17/2009 at 6:22am.

Last night when my 5 year old was taking her bath I heard this sputtering and gasping noise like she was drowning.  I ran into the bathroom; keep in mind that she broke her arm while riding her bike about 4 weeks ago so her arm is in a cast all the way past her elbow and she just got a waterproof cast on Monday so she has been enjoying being able to put her arm in the water.  But I thought she had lost her balance and was going to drown so I ran in there.   By the time I got to the bathroom she was just sitting there with an exhilarated look on her face.  I asked her, "what were you doing?" and she replied, "I wanted to see if I could breathe under water."

Just a random fact, all babies are born with a dive reflex if they are pushed into water

She made a memory.... After explaining to my youngest daughter that she had to take care of her teeth,(age 5 or 6) telling her that she first got her baby teeth. Then her adult teeth would come in. If she didn't take care of those properly, she would end up with plastic teeth. An hour later I found her with a pair of pliers trying to loosen her first adult tooth. When asked what she was doing, she replied, "I want to see what those plastic teeth look like."

Apparently, she's investigating the contents of her dreams too, huh?

Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
