Appliance Innovation vs. Human Wrecking Ball

Life with a 1-year-old is always interesting. My husband refers to him as a "one-man wrecking ball" and you have to make a conscious effort to a: move stuff out of his reach that you care about or b: give him stuff that you don't care if he destroys. (I also have a c: option which is to purposely give him stuff to destroy because you want the newer, cooler and up-to-date version, but keep that between us and don't tell his father).

Before our little wrecking ball came into our life, our bottom-loading cooler was just a water cooler. We used it for cold water and an occasional mug o' hot chocolate. Then he came along and it became a necessity of life. Now, this necessity has taken on a new purpose: The Ultimate Challenge; Appliance Innovation vs. Human Wrecking Ball. While the little man is doing his best in making the competition close, our water cooler is clearly winning this battle. It doesn't matter how many times he opens and closes the bottom door (within a minute time span), our flow switch has never failed us and; as hard as he tries to reach the controls to water my hardwood floors, they are still too tall for him to reach. He just smiles and laughs everytime as if to say "You might have won the battle, but you will lose the war."

I'm not sure if he will win the war with this viable opponent, but I'm sure he'll try.
