Let me just set the scene for you...
We're at the teeninsy pool at Mimi's ultra nice beach house...we're the only ones around. Apparently, people in the south are SMART and send their kids back to school early.
I'm in my Texas ball cap, Jackie O Ray Bans, and Lands End Idon'tevencareifitsucksitinanymore swimsuit.
BabyGirl? Well, Lilly of course. And BabyBoy is in soon to be retired Vilebrequin trunks. We SHOULD be this ultra classy, well behaved family, yes?
It starts to rain. I panic slightly and try to cover my sippycup (and it is SERIOUSLY a sippycup half full of courage to overcome the headache from last night) with my Woman's Day magazine (don't judge...it's all I could find). I then cover myself with the kids' towels and tell them "As long as it doesn't thunder you can swim in the rain". Weeeehhheeeeheeelll. You would have thought they won the lottery! They immediately LOST their minds, started screaming and howling wildly and doing all sorts of bizaare jumps and flips into the pool. BabyBoy shouts out "HEEEERE'S JOHNNY!" and I ask where in the world he's ever heard this before. "Oh", he says,"in a Lego youtube video at Dad's house. There was lots of blood." Awesome.
I then give in to the madness and start eating sour cream and onion chips OUT OF THE BAG with zero restraint and pray that no other humans are listening or watching. We stayed out in the rain for about thirty minutes until the kids got cold (wimps). Now, more sour cream and onion chips and hot dogs (this time off of plates.) How very civilized of us.
