Today, my daughter decided to drench our carpets with water, to "make them grow like plants". She's 9. FML

I've seen much worse decisions out of nine year olds...at least she wasn't watering plants like a dog...

Make her add shampoo now it's a free service

Because watering the carpets is a cry for help to buy more plants?

She could actually be smart by creating a "nice" story about growing the carpet (?) instead of admitting that she simply let the waterbottle fall...

Believe it or not, there's an option to buy carpet from Home Depot that looks like exactly like grass. You had that in your home, didn't you, OP?

Just be glad she didn't shit on the carpet and call it fertilizer ...

Hey man she is a kid can't be too mad. We all did dumb shit growing up.

As her if she grows when water is dumped on her. Demonstrate, if necessary.

just think of all the money you will save on university

9 is plenty young enough for imagination to run wild

What if it actually worked? She could have started her own carpet business because no one else ever thought of watering their carpet. With the same logic she would just start watering everything- including herself.

If it were true, then the times I am called to clean floods that are a half a foot deep in water due to a broken water heater, busted pipe, overflowing toilet, or leaking AC system; I should be walking into forests. At best, the carpet is simply wet. At worst (and I've seen this) mold covers the entire walls and furniture. Or; since we're all sliding down the rabbit hole; perhaps I'm employed by a company hell bent on global drought enforcement!

I think we did more stupid things when were kids, my brothers were trying to light up the carpet.
