A deadly weapon in the hands of a bored mother!

What could make a mother turn this weapon on her children? Easy. Boredom. On a hot summer afternoon, a mother, who shall remain anonymous, frequently convinced her normally bright young children to play "Water-Mother-May-I". This game must be played with small, gullible children, as many as you like, and a mother, on a hot, really hot, boring, really boring, summer day. The children, and the mother must all be so bored that they are desperate for amusement, which makes them (the kids) ready and willing to take risks, and her (the mother) feel rather sadistic. Here's how it goes. The mother holds a HOSE which contains freezing cold water. She points the hose towards the grass or flowers, away from the children. The children line up awaiting her command. The object is the same as in regular "Mother-May-I" except that with each command the children must say "Mother-May-I" and then do as she says while being sprayed with icy water. The closer they get to the finish line, the harder and colder the water gets! The weapon of choice then begins to be aimed directly into the face of the bravest child. Why would any kid in his right mind voluntarily let his mother spray him in the face with cold water? Simple. Boredom.
