Static

Today, Lauren played with her toy slide that her tita Mary Ann gave for Christmas. It's one of those plastic indoor toy slides. It has 2 steps (3 if you include the top of the slide) and the slide itself is pretty steep to me. She's able to climb up the steps on her own but sometimes when she gets to the top, she gets a little frightened by the height, especially when she has troubles getting one of her legs around so she can slide down (I always try to let her get herself out of trouble - but of course i'm there by her side just in case).

Anyway, she's going up and down the slide and everytime she slides down, she creates static electricity (I hear the static building up everytime she slides down). So everytime she slides down, she likes to ZAP me before she goes back up the steps to slide down again and again and again. ZAP, ZAP, ZAP!
