***************************************************************************"No!" the Duchess cried out loudly. "No! Don't get the bubbles off! Nooooooo! Not with the tickle water!"
I went to see why the bathroom sounded like a Fourth of July battle at Water World.
Oh. Bathtime.
'Tickle water' is the handheld shower head.

"Bobbooo! Bobboooo!"
18-month-old Oots pronounces 'bubbles' like 'bob-boo' and of course wants to hold the bubble stick himself. He earnestly pumps the bubble wand in the bubble cup and, with more enthusiasm than accuracy, attempts to create bubbles.
He doesn't like it when someone else blows the bubbles.
Much like his mother, not a follower, not a chaser of other people's bubbles, but determined to make his own.
*************************************************************************
Words of... wisdom? encouragement? something anyway - from the five-year-old Duchess.
"Good job on the bubbles, Lovey," she stated solemnly as she watched the sink fill with hot water and bubbles, getting ready to wash dishes.
She was right. I did do a good job.
