The Toddler, The Garden Hose , The Standoff

If you have a toddler, you've probably been there. The two year old learns to spray the hose and holds the entire family at bay.
Adults are no match for three feet of sass with a water cannon and an ornery smile. We all stand just beyond her spray and think while the neighbors delight in our dilemma.
We thought we could outsmart her - she is only two for crying out loud. We had a great plan, which involved using the neighbor kid as bait. We sent him running as a decoy while one of my other kids made a break for the shut-off. Go Go Go! Almost there! - Whoosh! - She turns and cuts him off at the last second.
We regrouped and came up with another plan, but she fell and we seized the opportunity to disarm her.
Due to the quick, swift action of everyone involved, the incident ended with nothing more than a minor boo boo on a finger.
