An innocent prank? Yeah, I think so.

It was a beautiful Memorial day and we decided to stop at Sparbucks and Kellog park in down town Plymouth after mass this morning. We used a gift card to buy some yummy chocolate frapuchinos and walked over to the fountain in the park. To our suprise, and the kids delight, the fountain was full of thick bubbles. Being a male who played a lot of pranks growing up my first thought was some teens put a LOT of bubble bath in to make that many bubbles. Anna, innocent as she is, thought the city must be cleaning out the pump system. We'll the kids took no time at all to jump up on the edge and put their feet in. They played for a while, popping bubbles and getting them all over their hands and feet. I thought the bubbles smelled familiar, some scent from my childhood. Well it turns out I was right all along. on the far side of the fountain, behind, not inside the trash container, was a BIG box of Tide detergent. The culprits left behind evidence of their crime.


I couldn't help but think about hoew much fun it must have been to run to the center of the fountain and dump a box of powdery whiteness into the spashing water and watch the hydrophilic wonders come forth.
