Before He Could Reach the Top
When my nephew was three, I went to my sister’s house to watch him and his older sister. I was in the kitchen washing up some dishes when I looked out and saw him climbing up to the top of the waterslide and noticed the pool cover was auto-retracting.
I ran out to go get him because he couldn’t swim at the time. I grabbed him before he reached the top. He thought it was funny. I put him down and couldn’t figure out how he knew to retract the cover.
His four-year-old sister came out and said the old man at the end of the pool told her to push the button. There was no one there. I was totally freaked out. I’m so glad my sister moved from that house. Story credit: Reddit / CeeUNext_Thursday
