Took my youngest two siblings and a couple of their friends swimming today. I sat along the pools edge until I couldn't stand it any more. I jumped in.
Now I know why people invented swimsuits....street clothes don't cut it. I mucked about for about half an hour then got out an tried to read. We were swimming at our neighbors pool. It's a fun game. It's called wait until the neighbors leave then run across and swim until the come back and notice five children splashing about in their property. Then we play run really fast and hope they don't come after us. I joke. They are the best of neighbors. Anywho I was sitting, sopping wet I might add, on one of their deck chairs when a little girl, probably six or seven, came out. Adorable. One of those kids that you can just tell that they'll will be stunning when they grow up. Green gray eyes. Dark brown hair that she kept twisting in her hands. She proceeded to strike up a conversation with me. I love kids. I love how blunt they are. I love how they aren't shy. I love how they tell you exactly what they are thinking. She was looking a a reptile tank that my neighbors keep their lizard in and was wondering....all sorts of things about it. 'why are its eyes so small?' 'What is it looking at?' 'Do lizards swim?' Heavy stuff. I did my best to answer. She was precious. Note: I love kids because they don't cause drama. They might whine and scream. But I don't know any six year olds that start rumors. Lets keep it that way....
