Simple.
You leave the two year old alone for two minutes.
Jeff and I meandered over to Tonia and Ben's today to say hi. While Tonia was fixing the computer I went upstairs with Eliora to see the fish. We found one of the fish bowls precariously tipped over on it's side and almost all the water missing. The fish was safely in what was left. Eliora ran downstairs to tell her Mom there was water everywhere, I looked for a towel and Sadie just sat there smiling. She was very excited about the incident and was speaking Garble. I think, from what I could understand, was that she had climbed the drawers to the dresser, pulled the bowl over so she could feed the fish and accidentally knocked it over sending the fish and 20 gallons of water into the dresser. BUT Sadie knows the "fish is water" and so she picked up the fish (who was probably flopping in the clothing) and "put him in." So she should get a hero party for saving the fish's life. Although I don't know if it counts when you have to save it from yourself...
Anyway as bed time rolled around we were trying to get Sadie to come upstairs to put on her pajamas. When Ben's girls don't listen, he pulls out the "Inchworms." They're similar to "The Claw" in the movie Liar Liar. The inchworms tickle them, but apparently its life threatening to the girls because they totally freak out. So here we are calmly trying to get Sadie upstairs when Ben pulls out the inchworms. Sadie came tearing up the stairs as fast as she could while Audrey and Eliora ran for cover in the bedroom. Eliora noticed something... Audrey was missing her panties.... after two seconds of detective work the answer appeared. Apparently she was on the potty when she heard the inchworms were coming and was in such a hurry she jumped down and ran into the bedroom. Leaving her panties and what should have been in the potty on the floor of the bathroom. Hahaha and the inchworms had to clean it up!!!

when I was little I took my gold fish and made him do gymnastics and many times when he was doing his flips he wouldn't land in his bowl but on the carpet. he lived a long life though, must have been the exercise. :)
