Why is it, I wonder, that water is such a sure-fire source of delight for small children?

The hypothesis did not survive more than 4 or 5 experimental tests, but then the young woman who was minding him came & showed him another one: compare & contrast a wet foot print made on the cream coloured stone with one made on the red-flagged pathway
