O0o I thought of another example

I feel like a baby that want the pretty glass vase sitting high up on the shelf. The baby has climbed up on the shelf b4 to try && reach the vase. As soon as the baby touched it && it almost fell, someone came && picked up the baby && put it in a crib. As soon as the baby was in the crib && distracted by the mobile swinging overhead the baby thought everything was fine. The baby may even have temporarily forgotten about the vase that it almost smashed to pieces. The vase didn't 4get; the vase still had the baby's fingerprints on it even though it may seem as though it was returned to normal on that high shelf. It would never be the same. But after a while the mobile stopped spinning and the baby was unceremoniously forced from its crib. The baby cried for a long time, unsure of what to do, it wanted to be back in the crib. To the baby the crib represented comfort and stability but after the baby realized it could not get back into the crib alone. Only the person who placed the baby in the crib originally could place the baby back in the crib. Soon baby would begin to crawl about, never 4getting the crib just trying to remember the life it knew b4 the crib. The baby eventually landed its eyes on the vase. Still as high up on the shelf as it was b4. As baby looked around to find a way to reach the vase, baby's eyes landed on a mirror and upon glancing in it, baby realized it had grown. It was not as small as it was the 1st time it reach for the vase. All baby had to do this time was get on its tippy toes and the vase would be in fingertip reach. Only problem with that is, is there is a possibility that it could fall. Baby at this time was smart enough to realize that instead of trying 2 reach for the vase this time it should wait. Even though it was closer to attaining it, it would be better to wait until it grew a few more inches and it was sure it had a grip on the vase b4 it tried to reach for it again. Although baby knew that the vase was glass and that it could possibly break even when baby had a firm glass on it, it would rather wait and make sure it did everything to prevent the glass from breaking b4 it put its ever lasting fingerprints on it again.
