When I was about 5-6 years old and I heard my mom say that there was a drought and that we had to be careful with our water usage. I thought she meant that it was so dry outside that since we had water inside..I figured that I'd be helpful and make a few trips outside by taking a cup of water and pouring it on the street curbside and watch it go down to the storm drain. Well, after a few times of seeing me running back and forth she finally stops me and asks..''What on earth are you doing??'' I told her that I just wanted to help out by taking water outside to help get rid of the drought!! She laughed at me and explained the whole thing about the drought to me... Well??!! I was a kid..LOL!!
