Living in the moment

Living in the moment, that is a good thing... right?
I have always heard that living in the moment is something that we each should strive for, and there is a certain logic to it, but anyone that has children may have to disagree. What parent hasn’t cringed when a child of theirs hasn’t made the connection between action "A" + action "B" = X.
Little Sally is playing outside with the hose. This sounds like a nice cooling summertime activity. Next add one dog sunning on the porch to the equation. ( I can almost hear the light bulbs going on for other like minded people who just know where this is going)
Thoughtful little Sally decides to cool off the dog by giving it a good dousing with the hose. This equals "B" in our formula.
Dog, not particularly liking the cold water wake up call, rushes to the door to get away from helpful little Sally, who being the sweet child that she is, OPENS THE DOOR! Now the conclusion of our equation: Wet dog races into the house jumping onto the furniture running along the sofa face buried in the cushion with back feet propelling it along to evenly soak funky dog smelling water into each cushion as it careens about the room, overturing the lamp on the end table, tripping the parent who races into the room to try to stem the chaos and shaking seemingly gallons of water onto the parent as they reach for the dog.
Meanwhile, little Sally had only reached the conclusion that, summer = warm, Sally + water = cooling fun. Sally had not followed through the equation to it’s end. She was living in the moment.
Right now little Sally is living a moment in the corner.
