The Mysteries Of The Sprinkler

It is the simple things that attract kids. I have a little kiddie wadding pool and the big attraction was watching Grampy fill it with the hose.

I revealed to them the secrets of the universe by showing them how far you could shoot water by putting your thumb over the end of the hose.

Little people then tried to apply knowledge gained from the thumb over the end of the hose, for improving the watering distance of sprinklers.

Their distance improving theory involved placing their thumbs over the sprinkler head. I wonder where they got that idea?
