Alice loves to put things in things. So one afternoon, she put her feet in her purple princess slipper-boots (hand-me-down), and put a bunch of junk in her backpack and another bag, and declared, "I'm heading to school now, Mom!"
As I said, Alice likes to put things in things. Today she also put Percy in the fishtank. She was genuinely distressed as he floated under the glass top and she was unable to retrieve him. She sounded the alarm: "Mom, Percy's swimming in the fishtank and I can't get him out!" We fished Percy out, gave Alice dire warnings about what would happen if she put anything in the fishtank again, and all was right in the world of little girls and little trains.
