If you can call swimming around 9pm "a lot of pool time",
but that's when the wasps go to bed so that's when we swim.
It's usually rushed.
A kid on his way to bed will say, "Can we swim really quick?"
All of my kids know I'm a sucker for water and I will always agree,
so we will frantically be donning swimsuits
that aren't completely dry
or maybe in mid-cycle of the wash.

A1 got caught in that predicament yesterday, but he wasn't deterred-- he came running out starkers. The kid has no shame.
J2 shouted, "A1! Cover your gentiles!"
I about drowned from laughing so hard while treading water.
Same kid (same swimming occasion) later informed me that he and his siblings all have a little of Mom and Dad and he knows why that is...
Me:"Really, why is that?"
Him: " I can't tell you with them here!"
Me (little slow, but catching up): "Oh, you aren't talking X and Y chromosomes, you're talking about "how" children are made."
Him, smugly: "Yes, and I know it happens at night".
Hmmmm.... Sex Ed in school, interesting.
that is hilarious! so cute, the wasps probably won't bother you if you don't bother them. Try making traps. If you save plastic milk jugs the one gallon size and make a whole in one side just under the handle about the size of a silver dollar. Put sugar water about 1/3 full, or a piece of hot dog hanging from a piece of wire; if they are meat wasps. Then hang with a coat hanger in the trees or near by. They get in and get confused about getting out and drown. It works. I don't worry about wasps or mud dobbers, because they are pretty mild mannered. Yellow jackets are a whole nutha deal!
ReplyDeleteOn the sex ed. Once we over heard our littles talking about this and they said it was MARTIAL ARTS! and then the neighbor girl said yeah and my mom is really good at it!
kung fu fighting yeah that's what I'm talkin bout.
bahHA! What a smart little nudey pants.
ReplyDeleteHe could probably teach me a whole bunch of stuff. That water looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCoke went up my nose (the drink, not the drug) when I read Gentiles!
ReplyDeleteVery funny!

I'm snorting over the gentiles comment. I had another comment but since it refers to him being proven wrong about the night thing (at least in another 40 days or so) I'll just keep my mouth semi-shut.
ReplyDeleteI think that he still has a lot to learn!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! Thanks for making me laugh. Nothing wrong with a little evening skinny dipping. :D
ReplyDeletetee hee. Gentiles. Someone I know once called the two teeny things up front her 'nibbles'. But don't tell anyone.
ReplyDeleteGentiles!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd one wonders how he knows!
